Ok,
apparently the most interesting attachement did not pass the filters
(probably because of the utf-8 encoding...).
Maybe it is still helpful to copy&paste the Sweave output (with uft-8
part) for R-2.10.0beta invoked via Rgui --vanilla:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{c:/Programme/R/R-2.10.0beta/share/texmf/Sweave}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
%\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage[german]{babel}
\begin{document}
\begin{Schunk}
\begin{Sinput}
> Umlaute <- c("ä", "ö", "ü", "ß")
> Umlaute
\end{Sinput}
\begin{Soutput}
ÿþ[1] "ä" "ö" "ü" "ß"ÿþ
\end{Soutput}
\end{Schunk}
\end{document}
Best wishes,
Martin

Dear developers,
I have come across a (somewhat strange) change in the encoding of
Sweave output from R-2.9.2pat to R-2.10.0beta (apparently specific to
Rgui) on Windows installations. Of course, the NEWS file contains
quite a few changes concerning encoding, but I was not able to locate
an entry which explains the observed behaviour. I am not very familiar
with encodings/locales/codepages, but I will try to explain my
observations as best I can.
In R-2.9.2pat, when invoking R via Rgui --vanilla (output of
seesionInfo() below), the output of Sweave for .rnw files containing
german umlaute (latin1-encoded) is again latin1-encoded (the resulting
.tex-file compiles with \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} and
\usepackage[german]{babel}).
In R-2.10.0beta, however, when invoking R via Rgui --vanilla (output
of seesionInfo() below), some of Sweave's output (more precisely,
Soutput environments containing german umlaute, Sinput environments
with german umlaute are still latin1) is utf-8 encoded (with some
extra characters at the start and the end, which could be BOMs).
Surprisingly, when R is invoked from (Windows) command line (R
--vanilla or Rterm --vanilla), the encoding is completely latin1 again
(as in R-2.9.2pat). So, the change to utf-8 encoding for parts of
Sweave's output seems to be specific to Rgui.
Of course, I can work around this problem by using Rterm instead of
Rgui when Sweav'ing, but I am not sure if the current behaviour of R
via Rgui is as intended.
I will try to attach the .rnw - file as well as the resulting .tex -
files (and hope, that the attachements pass through).
Best wishes,
Martin
