The easiest way to generate a quick, sharable report straight from your Rscript is by creating a notebook via File | Notebook, or by clicking on the Notebook button all the way on the top right of the Rscript tab (right next to the Source button).
RStudio offers three ways to generate a notebook from an Rscript—the simplest are Default and knitr::stitch. These only differ a little in layout. The
knitr::spin mode allows you to use the Markdown markup language to specify text layout. The markup options are presented after navigating to File | Notebook or after clicking on the Notebook button. Under the hood, the Default and knitr::stitch options use knitr to generate a Markdown file which is then directly converted to a web page (HTML file). The knitr::spin mode allows for using Markdown commands in your comments and will convert your .R file to a .Rmd (R Markdown) file before further processing.
In Default mode, R code and printed results are rendered to code blocks...
