I'm using a .Rnw --> Sweave --> pdflatex workflow on Windows 10, with emacs
26.3 and ESS (not sure which version.)
I have this code:
n.tests.7 <- 3 ## for example
trailing.7.pos.percent <- 12 ## for example
trailing.7.message <-
ifelse( n.tests.7 > 0,
paste("In the past seven days,", n.tests.7, "test results have
been reported, of which", trailing.7.pos.percent, "\\% were positive"),
paste("No test results have been reported from these labs in
the past seven days.") )
Desired outcome in the resulting .tex file is "In the past seven days, 3
test results have been reported, of which 12\% were positive."
But I get "In the past seven days, 3 test results have been reported, of
which 12\\% were positive." Which, when compiled in pdflatex,
unsurprisingly cuts off the sentence at 12
Replacing, in the .Rnw code, the \\% with \% , yields an R error message:
Error: '\%' is an unrecognized escape in character string starting ""\%"
Grateful for any help.
