Frank,

Your template is very interesting.  The "pretty-ifing" of the left arrow and
tilde in the input chunk has the unfortunate side-effect of making the code
non-paste-able into R.

I seem to recall that your reports used to include the latex source code as
an appendix.  Maybe one option could be to include an appendix with the
results of Stangle applied to the .Rnw file, formatted as plain text.  This
would create a concise collection of all the necessary code to reproduce the
results.

Just brainstorming here....
