I'm using Lyx 2.1.2 and knitr (not sure how to determine the version) on Fedora 20. I'm running into a problem with the termination of knitr chunks when the chunk is embedded in a table cell. If I do not enter the final @ line for the chunk, I get an error and the document cannot be created. If I do enter the final @ line for the chunk, it works, but the @ mark appears literally in the table cell after the output from the R code.
I suspect that this is part of a general problem that I mentioned in another posting, is related to LaTex objects immediately following a knitr chunk.
This is an example Lyx document that demonstrates the problem:

This is an example of a problem that arises when knitr chunks are
embedded in Lyx table cells. Here is the table:
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
\hline
Text &
Chunk\tabularnewline
\hline
\hline
Arbitrary Text &
\begin{knitrout}
\definecolor{shadecolor}{rgb}{0.969, 0.969, 0.969}\color{fgcolor}\begin{kframe}
\begin{verbatim}
## [1] "Hello World"
\end{verbatim}
\end{kframe}
\end{knitrout}
@\tabularnewline
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{document}
Looking at the Tex output (four lines from the bottom) the @ mark is appearing outside the knitrout environment, yet within the Lyx file, the @ mark is inside the chunk and (at least in WYSIWYM terms) obviously not intended to appear in the document.
Is there a way around this or is it a bug that needs fixing? Of course, if there is any other data I can post that would help, just let me know.
Thanks!
