Sweave for Automatic Report Generation
Sweave is a utility included in R that allows one to create
dynamic reports in latex capturing output from embedded S or R code
that is run "on the fly".
Embedded R code can optionally be extracted into R source files using Rtangle.

Reports are created by Sweave+LaTeX:
Sweave file --> Sweave (in R) --> .tex output file --> LaTeX --> dvi, pdf, or ps report
This example provides a very simple template for preparing an assignment using Sweave with
latex-style syntax.
