## What it is
An R package for creating dynamic documents that combine code, rendered output, and prose, rendered via Pandoc to HTML, PDF, Word, slideshows, and more. It is the foundation of reproducible reporting in R, supporting literate programming and dozens of output formats.

## Use cases
- generate reproducible analysis reports from R code
- convert markdown with embedded R code to PDF or Word
- build slideshows and dashboards from data analyses
- write a book or website with knitr and pandoc
- share reproducible data science notebooks
- automate scheduled report generation

## When to choose
- you work in R and want code and narrative in one reproducible document
- you need many output formats (HTML, PDF, Word, slides) from one source
- you want literate-programming style reports with figures and tables

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose static site generator without R code execution
- your workflow is Python-only and you prefer Jupyter or Quarto
- you need a lightweight markdown renderer without Pandoc

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: documentation, markdown, data-visualization, static-site-generator, templating
- domain: data-science, documentation, developer-tools, education
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: r-package, literate-programming, pandoc, reproducible-research, report-generation, notebooks, r
