Details

There are three variants of markdown documents: ordinary markdown (render_markdown(strict = TRUE)), extended markdown (e.g. GitHub Flavored Markdown and pandoc; render_markdown(strict = FALSE)), and Jekyll (a blogging system on GitHub; render_jekyll()). For LaTeX output, there are three variants as well: knitr's default style (render_latex(); use the LaTeX framed package), Sweave style (render_sweave(); use Sweave.sty) and listings style (render_listings(); use LaTeX listings package). Default HTML output hooks are set by render_html(); render_rst() and render_asciidoc() are for reStructuredText and AsciiDoc respectively.

These functions can be used before knit() or in the first chunk of the input document (ideally this chunk has options include = FALSE and cache = FALSE) so that all the following chunks will be formatted as expected.

You can use knit_hooks to further customize output hooks; see references.
