[R] XEmacs: substitute \n by "real" linefeeds

[Christian Hoffmann]

Hi,

This may be a useful tip for R users on emacs:

Problem: substitute "\n" by a "real" linefeed, so that

aa \n bb \n ccc

becomes

aa
  bb
  ccc

?

Solution:  M-% <RT> \n <RT> C-q 12 <RT>

It works, because ASCII 12 = <RT>

Enjoy!
Christian
