I am using knitr to produce pdf reports. One thing I am trying to do is to add multicloumns to a table. I am referting to this link. The question is how can I put the code showed in the post in my Rnw file. This is what I've tried in my Rnw file:
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{colortbl, xcolor}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\begin{document}
<<echo=FALSE, results = "asis">>=
mx <- matrix(1:6, ncol=3)
rownames(mx) <- LETTERS[1:NROW(mx)]
colnames(mx) <- sprintf("Col %s", LETTERS[1:NCOL(mx)])
latex(mx, n.rgroup=c(2), rgroup=c("Nice!"),
n.cgroup=c(2,1), cgroup=c("First", "Second"),
file="",
ctable=TRUE)
@
\end{document}
and I use knit('test.Rnw') to convert it to tex file. And this is how the tex file looks like:
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}\usepackage[]{graphicx}\usepackage[]{color}
%% maxwidth is the original width if it is less than linewidth
%% otherwise use linewidth (to make sure the graphics do not exceed the margin)
\makeatletter
\def\maxwidth{ %
\ifdim\Gin@nat@width>\linewidth
\linewidth
\else
\Gin@nat@width
\fi
}
\makeatother
\definecolor{fgcolor}{rgb}{0.345, 0.345, 0.345}

\newcommand{\hlkwd}[1]{\textcolor[rgb]{0.737,0.353,0.396}{\textbf{#1}}}%
\usepackage{framed}
\makeatletter
\newenvironment{kframe}{%

\end{document}
and when I run tools::texi2pdf('test.tex'), I got some error message:
texi2dvi(file = file, pdf = TRUE, clean = clean, quiet = quiet, :
'tester3.tex''texi2dvi'
Messages:
/usr/bin/texi2dvi: pdflatex exited with bad status, quitting.
/usr/bin/texi2dvi: see tester3.log for errors.
1: tools::texi2pdf("tester3.tex")
2: texi2dvi(file = file, pdf = TRUE, clean = clean, quiet = quiet, texi2dvi = texi2dvi, texinputs = texinputs, index = index)
3: stop(msg, domain = NA)
Anyone knows how this happened?
thanks!
