There is a LaTeX package called  listings. It has an R option to
prettyprint code.   Never used it.

When I refer to R function in a LaTeX document I tend to use \texttt{}
(same as your {\tt } construct). Historical convention rendered computer
code in a monospace font (akin to Courier) so that's what I follow.
