[Rd] R CMD check and error in an \Sexpr in an Rd file

[Renaud Gaujoux]

Thank you Duncan for pointing this out. I did have tried using the 
command \out with no success, but I finally manage to do what I want with:

\if{html}{\Sexpr[results=rd, 
stage=render]{"\\\\out{<pre>line\nnewline\n\nother line</pre>}"}}
\if{text}{\Sexpr[results=rd, 
stage=render]{"\\\\out{line\nnewline\n\nother line}"}}
\if{latex}{\Sexpr[results=rd, 
stage=render]{"\\\\out{\\\\begin{verbatim}line\nnewline\n\nother 
line\\\\end{verbatim}}"}}

The only remaining issue is with format 'text', that does not show 
single break lines. Double break lines are shown correctly with an empty 
line.
This can be put in a macro:

\newcommand{\rdVerb}{\if{html}{\Sexpr[results=rd, 
stage=render]{paste("\\\\\\out{<pre>",#1,"</pre>}", 
sep='')}}\if{text}{\Sexpr[results=rd, 
stage=render]{paste("\\\\\\out{",#1,"}", 
sep='')}}\if{latex}{\Sexpr[results=rd,stage=render]{paste("\\\\\\out{\\\\\\\\begin{verbatim}",#1,"\\\\\\\\end{verbatim}}", 
sep='')}}
}


which can be used as:

\rdVerb{"line\nnew line\n\nother paragraph"}

Dynamic code works as well:

\rdVerb{paste("This is the result of tools:::Rd_expr_PR(1234):", 
tools:::Rd_expr_PR(1234), sep="")}
\rdVerb{paste("This is the result of tools:::Rd_expr_PR(1234):", 
tools:::Rd_expr_PR(1234), sep="\n")}

But backslashes must be escaped twice:

\rdVerb{"\\\\\begin{section}\ntest\nsd\n\n\\\\\end{section}"}

Note that on the text version generated by the second \VERBATIM actually 
correctly shows the new line. Not sure why (?).
