Replace Unicode / LaTeX conversion table with R script #218

Closed nanxstats closed 1 month ago

nanxstats commented 3 months ago

Suggestion from @yihui: https://github.com/Merck/r2rtf/pull/217/files?diff=unified&w=0#r1564779269

The goal is to put the unicode_latex variable in an R script, to replace the current binary form stored in R/sysdata.rda.

This would also avoid the need of the globalVariables() call for unicode_latex as a hack to bypass R CMD check notes.

Based on our discussion, it might trigger issues with special characters. Would consider to keep it as is.

Special characters written in the form \Uxxxx should be fine for R CMD check (here is an example). Alternatively, they can be encoded to integers via utf8ToInt() and converted back to UTF-8 via intToUtf8(). Technically I guess the problem is solvable, but I understand it's no big deal, so I'm okay with leaving it alone.
