I have an R program that I want to run and have the output and plots in one
document. I believe this can be accomplished with SWEAVE. Unfortunately I don't
know HTML, but am willing to learn. . . as I said I need a gentle introduction
to SWEAVE.
Thank you,

John,
A couple of initial comments.
First, you will likely get some recommendations to also consider using Knitr:
http://yihui.name/knitr/
which I do not use myself (I use Sweave), but to be fair, is worth considering
as an alternative.
He did, and I'd agree with them. I've switched to knitr for all new
projects and some old ones. knitr should be thought of as Sweave
version 2.

Second, to create stand alone documents, as opposed to web based content, you
will likely want the output to be in TeX/LaTeX via Sweave, which can then
become PDF based documents via the post processing of the TeX/LaTeX source.
That is what I do for all of my analytic deliverables. You can also use LaTeX
classes like 'Beamer' to create Powerpoint-like slides for presentation.
Fritz' web site for Sweave is here:
http://www.statistik.lmu.de/~leisch/Sweave/
and there are some links to supporting materials there with very basic examples.
Another resource is:
https://beckmw.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/sweave_intro1.pdf
and if you Google for Sweave Introductions and Tutorials, there are a myriad of
others.
In conjunction with Sweave itself, there are a variety of supporting packages
on CRAN that have related functionality (e.g. formatted LaTeX output) that are
worth knowing about and are included in the Reproducible Research task view:
