[R-SIG-Mac] R code chunks

[Tom Hopper]

Ivan,

Some of the functionality of R Markdown documents can be found in the R GUI when you work in a script document rather than the console and make use of functions. For instance, the ability to expand or collapse parts of the document (functions can be expanded or collapsed), have code run without output to the console (invisible returns from functions, or assigning function returns to variables).

It doesn’t sound as though this is exactly what you’re looking for—the literate programming concept with rmd documents is very nice—but it might suit your particular needs.

This is possible in RStudio, but it seems that it is not in the R GUI Editor.
