I find Tinn-R to be an excellent editor for R, but I have one question I have not been able to answer. I wish to include some R code in Latex. Using the Edit/Copy formatted (to export)/TeX does provide Latex-type output. However, there are lots of commands such as \RAIdentifier and \RAOperator etc. that would appear to need either a Latex package to interpret or a list of new commands that describe font attributes etc. My question is whether such a package exists, or is the user expected to define their own commands to interpret them?
David, I also find Tinn-R an excellent editor for R. When I include R code in Latex, I use the Latex "listings" package. It has a wide variety of settings for pretty-printing R code and can be customized by the user. I think that would be more satisfactory in the long run than inserting Latex codes (or having an editor insert Latex codes) to mark R language elements. HTH Mike P.
The following is how I set up the listings package usage for R. If you
have improvements to this please pass them along. -Frank
