[Rd] Output multiline verbatim in Rd files with \Sexpr in PDF manual
Hi,
I want to output some generated text in verbatim in a Rd file, but do
not succeed in getting it render well in all versions (text, html and pdf).
I tried something like:
\Sexpr[results=verbatim, stage=render]{cat("line\nnext line")}
I use Rdconv to render each version of the man page.
This produced the expected effect in html, but resulted in a single line
"line next line" in the pdf and text versions.
Moreover, if I add an empty line as in:
\Sexpr[results=verbatim, stage=render]{cat("line\nnext line\n\nyet
another line")}
then the html is still correctly rendered, the text version correctly
shows the empty newline (but still not the firts line break), and the
pdf cannot be generated from the Latex code (because \AsIs breaks on the
newline).
I tried several combination of options (results=text, rd) and rd
commands (\cr, \preformated) but these are always somehow escaped when
generating the Latex file.
Is there a way to go around these issues? Maybe I am not using the
correct way.
Thank you.

[Rd] R CMD check and error in an \Sexpr in an Rd file
Hi,
another Rd related issue I encountered is that if an error occurs in an
\Sexpr in an Rd file, then on get the following error:
* checking for portable compilation flags in Makevars ... OK
* checking for portable use of $(BLAS_LIBS) and $(LAPACK_LIBS) ... OK
* checking examples ... ERROR
Error in paste(before, x, after, sep = "") : object 'exfile' not found
Execution halted
To reproduce, put a call like this in an Rd section:
\Sexpr[results=verbatim, stage=render]{x <- 1; stop("sexpr error")}
The strange thing is that it occurs at the example checking step.
Not sure why it does not break before.
Thank you.

Which version of R are you using? There was a bug in 2.13.2 that caused
some strange behaviour.

Oops, sorry, 2.13.2 is "final", so I didn't backport the patch. 2.14.0
is what you should get.

Re: [Rd] Sweave, cairo_pdf, CJK, ghostscript
Reading ?RWeaveLatex more carefully, I worked out that the outcome I want could
be achieved without patching R, by having this towards the beginning:
<>=
cairo <- function(name, width, height, ...)
grDevices::cairo_pdf(file = paste(name, "pdf", sep = "."),
width = width, height = height)
@
Then declaring grdevice= like this:
<>=
grid.text("\u4F60\u597D", y=2/3, gp=gpar(fontfamily="CNS1"))
@
So all is well. is there any chance of either updating ?RWeaveLatex with this
actual use-case example, or make it easier with the attached patch (and updated
version of what I did, just adding the corresponding documentation)? I thought
there might be a a use for cairo_ps() as well, but then most people who can do
latex could do pdflatex, especially those who has cairo installed.
FWIW, besides Chinese, I am doing Tibetan and Arabic as well - needed/wanted
those two for Sichuan (south-western China) and Ningxia (northern western, just
south of Mongolia).
