How can I insert long Rcode line in a LaTeX table with knitr

Question

In a Sweave file written with knitr and Rstudio, as the R code line is long and automatically split in the line under, an error is reported. The problematic line in my code showed bellow is the line 6 Does someone how to proceed ? I think that a little sign is simply needed, but I didn't find the answer on the web.

\begin{tabular}{@{}lr@{}} \toprule
Caracteristics & n, \% \\ \midrule
sexe (male) & \Sexpr{round(((prop.table(table(sexe)))[1]),2)*100} \%\\ 
Mean age at surgery (years) & \Sexpr{round(mean(agediag),1)} $\pm$        \Sexpr{round(sd(agediag),1)}\\
Main onset clinical sign & \\
\hspace{0.5cm} Motor deficit and dysphasia & \Sexpr{table(signeclinrevel)[1]}\\,  \Sexpr{formatPercent(prop.table(table(signeclinrevel))[1])}\\
\hspace{0.5cm} Seizure &   \\
\hspace{0.5cm} Cognitive disorders & \\
\hspace{0.5cm} Others (intracranial hypertension, eyesight troubles…) & \\

The answer is that the the function formatPercent from the package reporttools doesn't work in Latex table. Instead this work:

    \hspace{0.5cm} Motor deficit and dysphasia & \Sexpr{table(signeclinrevel)[1]}, (\Sexpr{round((prop.table(table(signeclinrevel))[1]*100),1)} \%)\\
