Dear helpeRs,
I would like to specify a newline command in R and pass it to latex
via Sweave such that it corresponds to latex' \\ command. But that
doesn't seem to be possible. If I Sweave the \n character, it just
makes a new line in latex but not the \\ command.
Is there a way such that the following code would result in latex in
blablabla \\ blablabla on different line
<<echo=FALSE>> string <- "blablabla \\ blablabla on
different line"
@
\Sexpr{string}
Thanks for the help,
Jan

Thus, to get "\\" output as part of a character vector, you would need "\\\\":> string <- "blablabla \\\\ blablabla on different line"> cat(string, "\n")blablabla \\ blablabla on different line HTH, Marc Schwartz
