I wanted to put a certain string in sans serif font in an *.Rd file
that I was writing.  I tried {\sf ...} and \textsf{...} but both resulted
in the warning "unknown macro".  The manual on "Writing R Extensions"
seems to me to imply that one should be able to invoke such LaTeX
macros (section 2.3):

> Each of the above commands takes LaTeX-like input, so other macros may 
> be used within text. 

Is there something else I need to do to get this to work?  Or some other way
to get sans serif?

I would appreciate any pointers.

     cheers,

         Rolf Turner
