text alignment in plot R

I am adding text to a plot in R but right now the alignment of the last part of the text is off. I am trying to align the R2 part of the text under the two blahs. This is just an example.

Example

plot(1:10)
text(8,4,expression("blah \nblah\n"~R^2~"= 0.98"),col="red")

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I would use expression only in the expression used, and use the adj parameter to adjust alignment.

plot(1:10)
text(8,4,c("blah \nblah\n", expression(paste(R^2, "= 0.98"))),col="red", adj = 0)

Additionaly, it seem like you're trying to do some legend. You could use legend to do it:

legend('bottomright', c('blah', 'blah', expression(paste(R^2, "= 0.98"))))

This would be more readable code, and you can adjust settings according to your needs. Check ?legend for more information.
