R help - Sep 2008 - graphics: per mil plus delta notation

Hello All,

I am looking for some help with was is probably very simple:

I want the y-axis title '$B&D(B13C$B"s(B VPDB' and similarly
for nitrogen on a
secondary axis. I am able to get the delta notation and per mil notation
separately but one messes up the other with the inclusion of quotations:

ylab=expression("{delta}^13*C \211 VPDB")
gives the per mil just fine but not the delta
ylab=expression({delta}^13*C \211 VPDB)
gives an error message for the inclusion of the backslash, and
ylab=expression({delta}^13*C "\211 VPDB")
gives an error message for the inclustion of the quotation marks.

Apologies for the simple question, any help is very much appreciated!

Thank you in advance,

Nora

Try this:

plot(1, ylab=expression({delta}^13*C~'\211'~VPDB))
