[R] Help with finalfit and knitr

[Jeff Newmiller]

R syntax does not allow for objects to be plopped next to each other separated by a space. There should be a newline after the t1 variable. This kind of problem plagues people copying HTML into emails on this mailing list (losing newlines), and was probably introduced into your code during a copy-paste as well.

There is no package called "kable"... that is a function in the knitr package.

My advice is to enter one line of each example at a time and study what it does before proceeding to the next line. Copying whole swathes of code and marveling at the result is exhilarating but ultimately leaves you handicapped in creating your own code.
