Hi r-devels,
I have two minor problems with special characters in Rd files when
used within a \preformatted{} markup command:
------------------------------------------------------
1. issue: backslash + single brace
------------------------------------------------------
I would like to write "\\\}" to produce \} on output (documenting
the need to escape the brace once again before TeX-ing it);
this fails if there is no space between the second and third
backslash, but works if there is a space, but this produces
\ } then....
------------------------------------------------------
2. issue: backslash + percent sign
------------------------------------------------------
I would like to write "\\\\\%" to give a string argument \\% on
output; this is needed for documenting how to register special
operators to TeX package 'listings'.
Again this fails, while "\\\\ \%" works.
In neither case 1 or 2 the standard TeX trick to produce a
linebreak in the source without producing a space on output
helps, i.e.
\\%
\}
resp.
\\\\%
\%
both produce valid code [the resp. first % is read as a comment
sign] but also insert a non-intended space in the output.
Any idea how to circumvent this?
Best, Peter
