Hi Ivan,
Using the R GUI and the built-in editor, you should be able to format your
document in the standard Rmarkdown or knitr way and save it with the
appropriate extension (Rmd or Rnw), but only run lines within chunks in the
console (using command + enter in the normal way). You can make sure all
the chunks are working in that way. Then to format the whole document you
can use a command in the Terminal as described in the links Tom sent or
reopen the document in Rstudio.
Somehow my R GUI can?t find the right pieces to make the pdf, so I have to
use the Terminal. render("EstObsErr.Rmd") produces the error
/usr/local/bin/pandoc EstObsErr.utf8.md --to latex --from
markdown+autolink_bare_uris+ascii_identifiers+tex_math_single_backslash-implicit_figures
--output EstObsErr.pdf --template
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.2/Resources/library/rmarkdown/rmd/latex/default-1.14.tex
--highlight-style tango --latex-engine pdflatex --variable
'geometry:margin=1in'
pandoc: pdflatex not found. pdflatex is needed for pdf output.
Error: pandoc document conversion failed with error 41
cheers,
Mollie

Thank you for your answer.
I don't usually use the Terminal, so I'm not sure how to do it.
But do you mean to start it from the Terminal and then use the R GUI or
do everything in the Terminal? In the latter case, I would prefer using
RStudio... My question was about using the R GUI Editor rather than RStudio.
Ivan,
You need to run knitr manually from the terminal (RStudio automates
this with the ?knit? button). See

Dear Mac useRs,
A colleague of mine have introduced me to rmarkdown and knitr to
produce nice reports. The other interesting thing here is to have so-called
chunks of code, which I find very practical to organize scripts.
I have found that it works well within RStudio. But is there a way to
enable chunks within the R GUI (and its great editor)?
What I don't like with RStudio (except that I need to install still
another software, and place is limited on the 256GB SSD of my MacBook Air)
is that it is not able to work on multiple screens.
