[R] Printing linefeeds using sprintf

[Haynes, Maurice (NIH/NICHD)]

Is there a way to print complex, multi-line text and numeric output with
good control of the field width and precision of numeric values?  In the
first example in the R Documentation for the sprintf function, there appears
to be a linefeed code "\n", but it is printed literally.

> sprintf("%s is %f feet tall\n", "Sven", 7)
[1] "Sven is 7.000000 feet tall\n"
