[Rd] formatR 1.0 caused error

[Yihui Xie]

Sorry, but this is a wrong list to write to. I'll reply anyway this time...

The formatR package should be irrelevant in this case -- you were
seeing warnings of deprecation. The error came from elsewhere. It is
hard to say what the problem was without a reproducible example.
Anyway, to "fix" the warnings, you can install the development version
of knitr (which I plan to release to CRAN relatively soon):

  install.packages('knitr', repos = c('http://rforge.net',
'http://cran.rstudio.com'), type = 'source')

You posted your sessionInfo() but it seems you deleted an important
part: the versions of packages, which makes it even more difficult for
others to tell what the problem could possibly be.

Regards,
Yihui
