Why `\n` doesn't move the text to next line in R?

Question

I was wondering in my bquote() code below, why even though I use \n the text after \n doesn't go to the next line?

g <- 5
main = bquote(bold("mean effect ("*mu*")"*"\n of"~.(g)~"studies"))
plot(1, main = main)

You can use `atop` ie. `main = bquote(bold(atop("mean effect ("*mu*")")~"of"~.(g)~"studies"))` — akrun, Nov 20 '19 at 17:58

We can use atop instead of \n

main <- bquote(bold(atop("mean effect ("*mu*")", "of"~.(g)~"studies"~phantom(100))))
plot(1, main = main)

@Reza The vertical spacing is a bit difficult within thee `main` – akrun Nov 20 '19 at 18:29
