knitr supports many markups: LaTeX, Markdown, HTML, reStructuredText
knitr has really nice defaults
Simplified figure production
- automatically print ggplot2 and lattice figures
- print figures by default
- permit interspersing of figures and console output
Greater extensibility:
- output options
- supports languages other than R
Simplified caching
