[R] Two == expressions in bquote

[Bert Gunter]

I think that careful examination will show that Henrique's solution is not
quite right: the text '=' character is slightly different than the symbol
font character. This is admittedly nitpicking, but ...

try instead:

text(2,8,bquote(paste(delta==mu^2,phantom()==.(mu^2))))

Try this:

text(2,8, bquote(delta~'='~mu^2 == .(mu^2)))
