Yes, Sweave parses & deparses the code in oreder to make full
expressions out of lines of text, i.e., to "know" where open
parentheses are closed etc. This is necessary in order to know where
to insert output when multiple lines are contained in one code chunk,
but unfortunately looses the original formatting as has correctly been
explained earlier in this thread.

Best,
Fritz
