[Rd] formatR 1.0 caused error

[Zhang,Jun]

Yihui,
I installed knitr_1.6.18, and user reported no warning any more. In my other related posting I thought rmarkdown was the problem, actually there are two part of the problems. Using older version of rmarkdown caused no html file generated, which is more serious, and the warning was cleared by your development knitr.
Thanks!
Jun

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
