results asis: create section header, and print R output, inside a for loop

[johnk]

I posted this on StackOverflow but have no replies yet, so I'm asking here too.

I have a for loop in R, inside of which I want to create R Markdown section headers and print output from R functions such as summary(lm(...)). If I use {r results='asis'} at the start of the code chunk, I can get the section headers to work but the R output won't display properly. If I don't use results='asis' then the R output displays but the section headers won't work. How can I get R-created section headers and R output is the same code chunk, all inside a for loop? There's a complete example R Markdown script and output over at the Stack Overflow post. Thanks!

I think your use case is a good one to use a template file to knit in a look and insert asis in the main doc
See this chapter of the book

14.7 Use knitr::knit_expand() to generate Rmd source | R Markdown Cookbook

Child document could also be of interest using knit_child

16.4 Child documents (*) | R Markdown Cookbook

Result asis is explained here:

11.11 Output text as raw Markdown content (*) | R Markdown Cookbook

I hope this helps you with your task

Thank you for your reply. I read about child documents (that you pointed to) and created a solution that I posted on Stack Overflow. Thanks again.

FAQ: How do I mark a solution?

If your question has been answered, don't forget to mark the solution! How do I mark a solution? Find the reply you want to mark as the solution and look for the row of small gray icons at the bottom of that reply. Click the one that looks like a box with a checkmark in it: [image] Hovering over the mark solution button shows the label, "Select if this reply solves the problem". If you don't see the mark solution button, try clicking the three dots button ( ••• ) to expand the full set of options. When a solution is chosen, the icon turns green and the hover label changes to: "Unselect if this reply no longer solves the problem". Success! [solution_reply_author] …
