Question

I’m observing a strange behavior when I try to output both text and a plot inside a loop in knitr.
When I run the below code, text and plot output are offset:

• the 1st text is not followed by any plot
• the 2nd text is followed by the 1st plot
• the 3rd text is followed by the 2ndt plot
• etc.
• the last text is followed by the second-last and the last plot

Is there any way to correct this, i.e. each text followed by its corresponding plot ?

```{r  echo=FALSE}


for (i in 1:5){

  cat("\nIteration number: ")

  cat(i)

  plot(1:i)

}

```

This is an old bug in the evaluate package which has been fixed. See issue #403 for details. The solutions is FAQ 1.
