Text Formatting ⇒ Making a ' which looks nice

[thedreamshaper]

As some of you may have gathered from my recent posts i am writting my statistics notes in LaTex and also the R code which goes along with that course. In R you use the symbol ' alot, which in latex could be made using \prime, however this is very ugly and seems to distrup the lines, do any one outthere have a fix ? if so, thanks


ps. if you just make a regular ' in the document it will come out as a ´ which wont work when you paste it into your R code.

\textquotesingle from the textcomp package?

Or better yet, load the listings package and have it do the dirty work:

Code: Select all

    \begin{lstlisting}[language=R,upquote=true]
        'a'=b
    \end{lstlisting}

Thank you, Listings didnt actually work(' still came out as ´), but \textquotesingle works fine, its a bit more work and i have to use verbatim but it looks right

Code: Select all

\begin{verbatim}
par(mfrow=c(3,3))
n<-sum(!is.na(data))
for (i in 1:6) \end{verbatim}
{
	cat( \textquotesingle plot nr: \textquotesingle ,i, \textquotesingle  \ n \textquotesingle ) \begin{verbatim}
	x<-rnorm(n)
	qqnorm(x)
	qqline(x)
} \end{verbatim}
