I have an S-Plus library that I would like to port to R. The library
sends a mix of static and dynamic output to an html file. For example
cat("
...
Big block of HTML formatting code
...
")
cat(dat())
cat("
More static text
")
With S-Plus I can just cut and paste HTML code from other files into my
S-Plus script file. This makes maintenance of the script fairly easy.
The R parser chokes on this and requires strings to have a backslash for
line continuation:
f = function(){
sometext = " abc \
def"
}
Mark Bravington discussed the same issue (with comments about
the documentation) here:
http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/02b/5199.html
I would like to echo Mark's request that compatability with S-Plus
be considered.
Thanks
Kevin Wright
