Just double all the backslashes and you are fine.
In order to see the outcome, use cat() (not print).

Hi,
I'm trying to build a vector of latex commands. However, I need the command strings to
begin with a backslash "\". I have:
test<- c('foo','bar')
and I need to rebuild the array, encapsulating the text items with latex stuff,
like this:
paste("\parbox[b]{3cm}{", test, "}", fill=TRUE)
Actually, cat() prints the string fine if one uses double backslashes. However,
I can't save the result from cat() back to a vector. And when I use cat()
inside the latex function from the Hmisc package, I only get errors... The (not
so) funny thing is that I can use paste() on a few latex commands. So if I
needed to make the strings bold, the following works:
paste("\bfseries{", test, "}")
I've read the R FAQ 7.37, but it only deals with cat(). Not paste. Or I just
didn't get it :o/
Is there a way to paste() the backslash character?
