Hello List, while dealing with a questin of 'xiaodao' ( http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Problem-with-large-small-numbers-in-knitr-tp4653986.html)
I noticed that copying the default inline hook function obtained by knit_hooks$get("inline") into a knit_hook$set(inline = <...>) call turns off exponential fomatting in the resulting .tex file. I used a stripped version of 'xiaodao's example: \documentclass{article} \begin{document} <<>>= a<-1e-13 b<-2.5e-10 ssrr<-123456.12 ssru<-123400.00 @ $ c=\Sexpr{a}/\Sexpr{b} f=\Sexpr{ssrr-ssru}/\Sexpr{ssru} $ \end{document} so: knit_hooks$restore() knit_hooks$get("inline") ## yields: ## function (x) ## { ## if (is.numeric(x)) ## x = round(x, getOption("digits")) ## paste(as.character(x), collapse = ", ") ## } ## <environment: namespace:knitr> knit("FILENAME.Rnw") ## .tex-file: ## c=$10^{-13}$/$2.5\times 10^{-10}$ ## f=56.12/$1.234\times 10^{5}$ ## then run knit_hooks$set() with exactly the same function: knit_hooks$set(inline= function (x) { if (is.numeric(x)) x = round(x, getOption("digits")) paste(as.character(x), collapse = ", ") } ) knit("FILENAME.Rnw") ## .tex-File ## c=0/0 ## f=56.12/123400 knit_hooks$get("inline") ## function (x) ## { ## if (is.numeric(x)) ## x = round(x, getOption("digits")) ## paste(as.character(x), collapse = ", ") ## } The only thing that changed is no <environment: namespace:knitr> is printed anymore Why does knitr change its output?
