[R] strings spanning multiple lines

[Tamas Papp]

I'd like to specify strings spanning multiple lines (ie too long to
fit in a single line without spoiling pretty-printed R code). I tried
the following way:

> a <- "multiple \
+ lines"

but 

> print(a)
[1] "multiple \nlines"

How could I avoid the extra linebreak ("\n")?

Regards,

Tamas Papp
