Change prompt character in knitr for JSS

问题

The Journal of Statistical Software style guide prescripes use of R> as prompt character. In Sweave this can be obtained through:

options(prompt = "R> ", continue = "+  ", width = 70, useFancyQuotes = FALSE)

Is it possible to set the prompt character in knitr as well? It seems like the prompt argument in chunks$set only allows for TRUE/FALSE.

回答1:

Use this kind of setup in the .Rnw file:

<<setup, include=FALSE, cache=FALSE>>=
library(knitr)
# set global chunk options
opts_chunk$set(prompt=TRUE)
options(replace.assign=TRUE, width=90, prompt="R> ")
@

Notice I say prompt=TRUE in the opts_chunk$set() and then specify what type of prompt in the options in the next line.
