[R] Problem with Sweave not recognising \Sexpr{}

[Mike White]

I think I have solved the problem. In the Sweave manual it mentions that 
problems may occur after loading the R2HTML package.  I have not 
recently loaded this package but the proposed solution to problems 
caused by R2HTML also solves my problem with the evaluation of R code in 
\Sexpr. It seems that it is necessary to set the syntax option in the 
Sweave function as follows
     Sweave(..., syntax="SweaveSyntaxNoweb")
  although I am not sure why this is required.
