[CCing to r-bugs to inform people that we have looked at it.]
Greg,
you sent me the example which can be reduced to an example.Rd file that
contains the following Example section:
############################
\examples{
# \code{} \code{}
foo <- function()
{
}
}
############################
calling now
R CMD Rdconv -t example example.Rd
results in:
############################
### ** Examples
# this-is-escaped-code{ this-is-escaped-codenormal-bracket9bracket-normal
foo <- function()
normal-bracket10bracket-normal
normal-bracket10bracket-normal
############################
I do not know whether this qualifies as a bug, but for simplicity let's say:
"Don't use \code{} in an Example section where it does not make sense
anyway."
Best,
Uwe

Hi all!
I'm trying to add Thomas Lumley's defmacro() function Lumley T.
"Programmer's Niche: Macros in {R}", R News, 2001, Vol 1,
No. 3, pp 11--13,
\url{http://CRAN.R-project.org/doc/Rnews/} to the gtools
package (provided that Thomas gives his OK). And I've
encountered an error
in how R CMD check is extracting the example code I have in
the .Rd file.
The example section contains the lines # An equivalent function is somewhat messier, since it must either explicitly # construct the y axis label, duplicating some of the
work of the plot
# function:
plotit <- function( df, var, col="red", title="" )
{
dname <- deparse(substitute(df))
vname <- deparse(substitute(var))
plot( df[[vname]] ~ df$Grp, type="b", col=col, title=title,
ylab=paste( dname, "$", vname, sep='' ) )
}
# or we explicitly construct the call and then call eval.
The code for
# the latter approach is # omiited since this is quite messy and # requires a lot of work. which is getting extracted for testing into
gtools.Rcheck/gtools-Ex.R as
# An equivalent function is somewhat messier, since it must either explicitly # construct the y axis label, duplicating some of the
work of the plot
# function:
plotit <- function( df, var, col="red", title=""
)normal-bracket43bracket-normal
dname <- deparse(substitute(df))
vname <- deparse(substitute(var))
plot( df[[vname]] ~ df$Grp, type="b", col=col, title=title,
ylab=paste( dname, "$", vname, sep='' ) )
normal-bracket43bracket-normal
# or we explicitly construct the call and then call eval.
The code for
# the latter approach is # omiited since this is quite messy and # requires a lot of work. Note that the opening and closing curly brakkets are
converted to the string
"normal-bracket43bracket-normal". [I assume that this is happeing somewhere to check for brace-matches, and isn't being
properly undone.] As
a consequence, R CMD check is failing:
> # An equivalent function is somewhat messier, since it
must either
explicitly

+ ylab=paste( dname, "$", vname, sep='' ) ) Error in df[[vname]] : object is not subsettable Execution halted I've checked, and this occurs under R-2.1.0, R-2.1.1, and today's R-2.2.0-devel on my platform i686-pc-linux-gnu arch i686 os linux-gnu system i686, linux-gnu I'm attaching the probelmatic .Rd file to this email. <<defmacro.Rd>> (For the record, I've simply enclosed the problematic
section in \dontrun as
a workaround.) -Greg Gregory R. Warnes, Ph.D. Associate Director, Non-Clinical Statistics Pfizer Global Research and Development LEGAL NOTICE Unless expressly stated otherwise, this message is
