[R] Using Sweave to generate multiple documents

[Yihui Xie]

I do not have a direct solution to your problem, but I think you may
give the knitr package a try (not on CRAN yet but soon will be): it
allows code chunks to be shared across different documents; see
http://yihui.github.com/knitr/demo/externalization/ for what I call
"code externalization". The same chunk can be used in your summary,
full report and slides without being typed repeatedly if you put this
chunk outside of these documents.

Regards,
Yihui

I think my material lends itself to have it all coming from one master document because a lot of the plots, writings, and calculations are shared, but I would need Sweave to generate separate files with me somehow pointing to what goes where.  Is this possible with Sweave?
