[R] Using expression for Italics and object evaluation in plot title

[Daniel Brewer]

Thanks.  That works great if I do this:
title(sub=bquote(italic(p)-value == .(p.val)))

But if I add text to the beginning e.g.
title(sub=bquote(Log rank test italic(p)-value == .(p.val)))
I get an error message saying,
Error: syntax error, unexpected SYMBOL, expecting ',' in
"title(sub=bquote(Log rank"
