I have actually started to use a document generation system called Webby,
and a tool for integrating and syntax-highlighting text files called
Idiopidae. It's much more flexible than Sweave (and much less painful to
install). For example, you could integrate the output of an R script into a
HTML or RTF (e.g. Word) document, as well as LaTeX.

You could also just use Idiopidae on its own, it might be all you need.
