[Hmisc] proposal for change in latex.summary.formula.reverse (was: [R] Sweave: superfluous newline (`\\') in tex file)

[Patrick Drechsler]

Hi,

well, it wasn't a Sweave problem after all. Seems to have
something to do with the function
`latex.summary.formula.reverse' in the package Hmisc.

Following change seems to help (at least for my purpose):

                         if(length(testUsed)==1) paste(testUsed,'test') else
                         paste(paste('$^{',1:length(testUsed),'}$',testUsed,

                         if(length(testUsed)==1) paste(testUsed,'test') else
                         paste(paste('$^{',1:length(testUsed),'}$',testUsed,

But since my knowledge of R is rather small I have no idea if
these has any other drawbacks.

Any comments?

How would I go about changing this for my setup only? Is
renaming Hmisc to something like pdHmisc ok?
