I'm not sure what your question really is. You do not have to use
RStudio, but it will be much easier to get started with RStudio,
because it does a lot of automatic conversion behind the scenes (e.g.
tex to PDF, markdown to HTML, ...). If you want a "pure" solution
without any text editor support, the answer is
library(knitr)
knit('your_input_file')
For example, knit('foo.Rnw') gives you foo.tex; if you are familiar
with LaTeX, you can mess with this foo.tex now (outside of R).
Minimal examples for different document formats are at
http://yihui.name/knitr/demo/minimal/ (you must have read this page),
and more examples at https://github.com/yihui/knitr-examples
If you are asking about the internals of knitr, "Luke, use the
