@andresrcs, Thanks for your response.
I think I didn't explain what I want very well.
My final desired output is this sentence: This is the text I have scraped: this is a character variable.
I want this output in a Word document knitted frrom the Rmarkdown script.
The section "this is a character variable" is the contents of the variable "value" in the tibble, character_value.
This snippet of code returns the error listed below the snippet.
# Text scraped from somewhere and placed into the variable "character_variable"
character_variable <- ("this is a character variable")
character_variable <- as_tibble(character_variable)
text 'This is the text I have scraped: `r character_variable$value`.'
Error: unexpected string constant in "text 'This is the text I have scraped: r character_variable$value.'"
I hope this clarifies my problem.
Thanks again for your help.
