Knitr escape latex special characters (e.g., ~, $)

问题:

LaTeX crashes when I run it on the output of this knitr document because the LaTeX special characters aren't properly escaped. Any hints how to fix this?

\documentclass{beamer} 
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}{Unescaped dollar signs and tildes}

In this example, neither the tilde nor the dollar sign
will appear in the pdf document, and the dollar sign
will cause a \LaTeX error.

<<xtable, results="asis">>=
n <- 100

x <- rnorm(n)

y <- 2*x + rnorm(n)

out <- lm(y ~ x)

library(xtable)

xtable(summary(out)$coef, digits=c(0, 2, 2, 1, 2))
@

\end{frame}
\end{document}

You need to add [fragile] option if your frame contains a knitr chunk with special latex characters:

\begin{frame}[fragile]
