[R] Mathematical niceties

[Stephen R. Laniel]

I'd like to make axis titles, chart titles, legends and the like
mathematically nice (e.g., have proper superscripts and subscripts,
variables in italics, and so on).  Ideally, one could go into ``math mode"
a la LaTeX, and write something like

plot(blah, xlab="Methane in $\mbox{cm}^3$ / g", blah).

This is just an ideal, but it would be nice.  Is some approximation of this
functionality available in R (or indeed, in S Plus)?

Thanks a lot,
Steve
