[R] Sweave - print \n ?

[Charilaos Skiadas]

Try adding strip.white=false on the code chunks:

<<echo=false,results=tex, strip.white=false>>=
hline()
hline()
@

Read ?RweaveLatex for more settings.

or if you want this to happen in all code chunks add this early on in  
the rnw file:

\SweaveOpts{strip.white=false}
