org-babel is the right tool. Getting the headers right might involve
some fiddling: there have been many question on the ML about those so
you can try searching, but if after some effort you are still running
into a wall, just post what you have, what you want to accomplish and
how your purported solution fails: there are lots of people able and
willing to help. The only thing to keep in mind is that the shorter the
example, the better: don't post your 100-page org file; extract the
example(s) that you want help with.

These are all "obvious" but I find that repetition of this sort (although
it might irk the lifers on the list) is useful.

If you are using the R code for your reference, and only presenting the
results, that's *not* literate programming: you don't have to worry
about the noweb stuff.
