comment How to put R code into a parameter of a newcommand?
Can you say more about what you're trying to accomplish? Sweave inserts its own LaTeX environment, so it's not surprising at all that just wrapping the results in \sf would fail. It will probably be easier to debug by working on the LaTeX file produced by Sweave ...

comment How use LaTeX counters to label knitr code chunks?
This might be hard, since the flow of information is one-way from R to LaTeX. That is, knitr gets run before LaTeX, and completely in ignorance of any LaTeX machinery ... you might be able to produce a chunk named something like "Solution\ref{setSeed}", but getting one named "Solution4.6" would be hard ... ? Apparently brew is more flexible, although I haven't used it

comment How to randomize content with examdesign package using Sweave
the R code only gets run once, upstream of the LaTeX processing, so this won't work. The brew package in R might have more capabilities for control of looping.

comment multiple footnotes using footmisc within author/thanks context
@Mico , I will take a look -- thanks -- but my first reaction is that it doesn't seem to apply, since at least the main subject of the question is about incompatibility with the hyperref package, which I'm not using here ... edit: doesn't seem to help in this case (I think the problem may be with something \author{} does ??)
