We have a testScript that does this for us at the moment - but we'd like to turn this into a vignette / pdf using Sweave. Problem is that we don't know Sweave, and the documentation around it is not user friendly. Does anyone have an example that they could maybe use to inspire us? Is anyone capable of turning an r script (/pkg/FLSAM/test/FLSAMtestScript.r) into a Sweave doc at the click of their fingers?

Hi,

If you are not well versed with LaTeX, take a look at knitr and using 
markdown, for example
