[Tikzdevice-bugs] Special characters?

[Cameron Bracken]

Hi Matthieu-

You are right, not verbose indeed ;), I will update that, thanks!

You have two options:

1. Us the `sanitizeTexString()` function (recommended)

    tikz('prob.tex')
    plot(runif(100), main=sanitizeTexString("Unit: us$/t"))
    dev.off()

2. Or for cases where you might not have direct access to the string
use the `sanitize` option

    tikz('prob.tex',sanitize=T)
    plot(runif(100), main="Unit: us$/t")
    dev.off()

This option can be dangerous since it might sanitize characters that
you do not expect. See ?sanitizeTexString for the default characters
that are replaced and how to set your own replacement characters if
you need to.

Cheers,
-Cameron
