knitr to PDF 不包装评论

Question

When trying to knit my Rmarkdown files to PDF, knitr doesn't seem to wrap the comments and the text just goes outside of the pdf margins.

I have tried specifying several parameters but nothing seems to have any effect.

---
title: "Demo margin"
output: pdf_document
---

```{r setup, include=FALSE}
options(width=80)
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE,out.width = 40, tidy=T, tidy.opts=list(width.cutoff=60))
```

## R Markdown

This is an R Markdown document. Markdown is a simple formatting syntax for authoring HTML, PDF, and MS Word documents. For more details on using R Markdown see <http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com>.

When you click the **Knit** button a document will be generated that includes both content as well as the output of any embedded R code chunks within the document. You can embed an R code chunk like this:

```{r cars, out.width=80, tidy = 'formatR', tidy.opts = list(blank = FALSE, width.cutoff = 60)}
summary(cars)
#very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very incredibly very long comment
```

## Including Plots

You can also embed plots, for example:

```{r pressure, echo=FALSE}
plot(pressure)
```

How can I get knitr to wrap the comments within the margins?

Answer 1

My guess is that you didn't have the formatR package installed. If that is the case, you need to install.packages('formatR') . Here is what I get on my computer:

Answer 2

I had the same problem and even with exhaustive searching found no other solution than either:

• Break the comment manually into shorter lines
• Use paste0("foo ... ", "... bar")

Answer 3

This issue was fixed after installing R v4.0.0 and reinstalling packages.
