Thanks for the hint !
So, the code below roughly works:
#######
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{verbatim}
\begin{document}
<<echo=TRUE,print=FALSE,eval=FALSE>>=
?plot
@
<<echo=FALSE,print=FALSE,results=tex>>=
path <- sub("help","latex",as.character(?plot))
path <- paste(path,'tex',sep=".")
cat(readLines(path),sep="\n")
@
\end{document}
#######
The document compiles with pdflatex but still complains about a bunch of
unknown latex instructions (like \HeaderA, used at the begining of the
included (plot.tex) tex file. The resulting pdf indeed looks a bit nasty.
What command shall we include in the header to have it work?
Best,
Thibaut.
