Dear all,
In Sweave I have a code chunk
aaa <- "Sex, Drug/Sex:W1,Drug:W1,\
    Sex:W2,Drug:W2/Sex:W1:W2,Drug:W1:W2"
which in tex code turns into
\begin{Sinput}
\end{Sinput}
meaning that the string is not split to two lines. Any suggestion about how to make Sweave break the string ?
Thanks in advance
S?ren H?jsgaard

Currently there is no way: Sweave operates on the *parsed* expressions
which do not contain the newlines. It does respect options(width=...)
settings, hence you can control approximately where lines are broken
(but not exactly).

Hope this helps,
