I am writing course notes in LaTeX. In the part where I am describing
model-fitting functions in R I want to use a ~ character inline. If I
am displaying an example of R code in its own environment I use the
alltt environment, which protects the ~ character. I have forgotten
how to protect the ~ when I am writing something like
The operator `~' is used to define a model formula in \R.
The left hand side is evaluated as the response. The right hand
side can consist of several \Emph{terms} with special meanings
I welcome suggestions.

V&R (well, R) made a virtual monospaced font taking ~ from a IBM public version of Courier, scaled to fit, plus \def\~{{\tt\char'176}} which make \~ work as you might hope. -- Brian D.

Use \verb"~" for example. See http://www.psych.upenn.edu/~baron/rpsych.tex for examples.

You may need \usepackage{amsmath} with this, but I'm not sure. ______________________________________________________________________ Stuart Luppescu -=-=- University of Chicago $(B:MJ8$HCRF`H~$NIc(B -=-=- s-luppescu at uchicago.edu http://www.consortium-chicago.org/people/sl.html Finger sl70 at musuko.uchicago.edu forPGP Public Key ICQ #21172047 AIM: psycho7070 Acceptance testing: An unsuccessful attempt to find bugs.>> Sent on 16-Jan-2001 at 15:20:58 with xfmail-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
