Dear R community,
is there any way to include a backslash in a charakter string without meaning some escape sequence? E.g. i need a string like: a <- '\hline' Error: '\h' is an unrecognized escape in character string starting "\h" to include some latex code in a xtable object, but I only mange to do: a <- '\\hline' which is not what I want. In detail I would like to add the following line of code to the first row of an xtable object with the add.to.row argument: & \multicolumn{4}{c}{A} \multicolumn{4}{c}{B} \\ for which I have to convert it into a character sting. Any ideas?
