knitr 1.47

NEW FEATURES

• For kable(), you can set the global option knitr.kable.max_rows to limit the number of rows to show in the table, e.g., options(knitr.kable.max_rows = 30). This is a way to prevent kable() from generating a huge table from a large data object by accident.

• write_bib() now escapes all non-escaped "&" in the bibliography by default. Previously, it only escaped the title field of the package citation. You can disable the escape with the argument tweak = FALSE (thanks, @HedvigS #2335, @atusy #2342).

BUG FIXES

• Fixed a bug that write_bib() fails to use the first URL of a package when multiple URLs are provided in DESCRIPTION and separated by \n (thanks, @bastistician, #2343).

MINOR CHANGES

• The syntax highlighting LaTeX commands for Rnw documents, \hlstr and \hlstd, were renamed to \hlsng and \hldef, respectively, to maintain consistency with Andrew Simon's highlight package (thanks, @dcser123, #2341).
