I would like to pass special characters and formatting with the knitr
generated captions.
I am trying to understand two things:
1) Is it possible to pass LaTeX
syntax through the caption?
2) How to define the encoding of the caption/subcaption strings?
Please consider the following MWE
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{subfig}
\begin{document}
<<fig-sub, fig.cap='Three \textit{plots}', fig.subcap=c('Erdős–Rényi', 'Barabási-Albert'), out.width='.30\\linewidth',dev='tikz',sanitize=TRUE>>=
library(ggplot2)
x<-1:10
y<-rnorm(10)
ggplot(data.frame(x,y), aes(x,y)) + geom_line()
ggplot(data.frame(y,x), aes(y,x)) + geom_line()
@
\end{document}

The answer (I found) is pretty simple.
knitr/R
will pass to TeX special characters if correctly escaped (backslashed). It is also probably necessary to use double-quotes" "
instead of single quotes' '
