Yes, I do it usually by hand, but would be willing to change, if there's a solution for this in roxygen... – Andri Signorell Jun 18 '21 at 07:01

A lot of Rd info here: https://colinfay.me/writing-r-extensions/writing-r-documentation-files.html Maybe try the `\sspace` macro. – MrFlick Jun 18 '21 at 07:01

I tested a few ideas add hoc. Normally i know about \text{} trick e.g. in Latex/Math so tried to look for sth similar. – polkas Jun 18 '21 at 07:21
