} tag (also in R-devel). The same, but not at the beginning of the line, fails in R-devel (2018-10-31): \Sexpr[stage=build,results=rd]{paste0("a", 1:3, collapse = "\n\n")} In html, the empty lines are there in the html source, but in R-devel there is a single \verb{
} tag enclosing the whole Sexpr, previously, and correctly, each letter is enclosed with p-tags. Now, the same \emph{without} surrounding new lines in the \emph{\file{Rd}}:\cr Line beginning: \Sexpr[stage=build,results=rd]{paste0("a", 1:3, collapse = "\n\n")} \cr Indented \verb{\Sexpr[*]{..}} (by 2 spaces): \Sexpr[stage=build,results=rd]{paste0("a", 1:3, collapse = "\n\n")} } \note{ System information: \Sexpr[stage=build,results=rd]{paste0("\\\\preformatted{\n", paste0(capture.output(print(sessionInfo())), collapse="\n"), "\n}")} }
