Small typo in 'Writing R extensions'

I presume you mean in HTML?  The PDF versions have the correct numbering.
Compare the two versions on http://cran.r-project.org/manuals.html.

That's not a 'typo' but a makeinfo problem.  There's a similar one in the 
TOC of R-admin.texi where the appendices are numbered not lettered in the 
ToC (but the CRAN copy is missing the ToC).

I've not been able to find a makeinfo workaround.

Hello,

I have just noticed the Table of Contents of 'Writing R extensions' is
wrongly numbered, as it gives, for example, 5. Debugging, when that is
section 4, as the acknowledgements section is numbered in the ToC only.

Regards,


Iago
