[R] Sweave echoing comments (again)

[Thomas Petzoldt]

Hello,

I try to document some R scripts for my collegues and observed the 
problem, that Sweave strips comment lines away.

As a small example I write in an Rtex file:

\begin{Scode}
## a small example
test() # line comment
\end{Scode}

... the .tex file generated by Sweave only contains:

\begin{Schunk}
\begin{Sinput}
  test()
\end{Sinput}
\end{Schunk}


... and all the comments are lost. Looking into the archives, I found, 
that such a question appeared already some months ago. Are there any 
advances or workarounds doing such things today?

Thank you in advance!

Thomas P.
