I've been missing it every once in a while, but till now I could always rephrase 
the problem with expand = FALSE or functions, and the chunk that does the actual 
calculation at the end.

Most often, however, I'm just lazy and use R comments. If math should go in 
there, I use listings instead of fancyvrb with the modified Sweave.sty that 
hopefully is attached (if not, see below).

Here's an example chunk:
<<keep.source=TRUE>>=
1 / 2 # $\frac{1}{x}$
4 + 4 # Here may come lots of explanations, that are in a \LaTeX\ 
paragraph\footnote{blabla}: even long lines are properly broken.\\ Though the 
new lines start at the beginning of the line. \\[6pt] And a line break in the 
chunk source will of course be interpreted as R again: so no new paragraphs 
inside the same comment.
# But there can be new commented lines.
3 + 6
# Note that comment only lines at the end of a code chunk seem to be lost.
# Not only one but all that aren't followed by R code
@
(the second line should be very long, I somehow can't keep thunderbird from 
inserting line breaks)


Hope that helps a bit,

Claudia
