The symbol of absolute value in TeX()?

[fountainer]

The code TeX("$\\hat{|\\rho|}$") gives the following error:

Original string:  $\hat{|\rho|}$ 
Parsed expression:  paste('','',hat(paste('|',rho|,,,)),'') 
Error in parse(text = str) : <text>:1:31: unexpected ','
1: paste('','',hat(paste('|',rho|,

I have the same problem and have found no work-around.

For me following worked: TeX("$\\hat{ | \\rho |}$") -- add spaces around the pipe

Sorry for the delay in answering to this issue.

This should correctly work in 0.9.0 (plot(TeX("$|\\hat{\\rho}|$")))
