R: Exit knitting early

knit_exit {knitr} | R Documentation

## Exit knitting early

### Description

Sometimes we may want to exit the knitting process early, and completely ignore the rest of the document. This function provides a mechanism to terminate `knit()`.

### Usage

    knit_exit(append)

### Arguments

`append` | A character vector to be appended to the results from `knit()` so far. By default, this is \end{document} for LaTeX output, and </body></html> for HTML output, to make the output document complete. For other types of output, it is an empty string.

### Value

Invisible `NULL`. An internal signal is set up (as a side effect) to notify `knit()` to quit as if it had reached the end of the document.

### Examples
