Failing to read the ?plotmath page. Numeric values do not get bolded. You will 
need to wrap with as.character(). And "\n"'s are not recognized.

[R] bquote question

[Andras Farkas via R-help]

Dear All,

could you please provide input on the following:

plot(1:10,main=paste("\n   ","\nABCD","\n","\n","\n"),cex.main=1.3) 

a<-500 
b<-12 
mtext(bquote(bold(.(formatC(1.2*a,decimal.mark=",",digits=2,format="f")))~ " 
words "~bold(.(b))~" words"~"\n"~"\n")) 



as you will see form the sub-title only the result of  
formatC(1.2*a,decimal.mark=",",digits=2,format="f") gets bolded, while the part 
bold(.(b)) does not seem to bold the letter 'b'... In addition, the spacing 
("\n ") at the end of the mtext line also does not seem to get recognized 
any thoughts on what I may be doing wrong?

much appreciate your help...
 
Andras
