Yihui, Thank you for your contributions! It's especially impressive how you're continuing to develop LyX support and documentation of Sweave, even though in some sense knitr is a competitor. From what I have been reading, knitr has clear advantages.
Are the following correct? 1. knitr will be integrated in LyX 2.0.3 (through a module) without additional customization. 2. there will be knitr and sweave manuals in the help>specific manuals in LyX 2.0.3.
