Ein "R und backslash"-Problem

Kerstin,

first of all, this is the R-help mailing list and not the private
address of:
Furthermore, the official language on the list is English.
As for your problem:
The backslash is the escape character in R (and in LaTeX), hence it has
to be escaped. Hence, try "$\\pm$". Also look at the difference of
cat()ing and print()ing such a character.

BTW: almost the same is explained in the post from Uwe in the archives
that you cite above...
