[ESS] knitr

[Pierre Kleiber]

Being a long-time user of R and ESS but never having tried sweave or other 
literate programing systems, I would like to try knitr. I'm searching for a 
knitr tutorial that makes use of ESS rather than RStudio. Can anyone direct me 
to such a tutorial?

Many thanks, Pierre
