Hi all, I would like to suggest that all R functions/etc like: codes-deprecated grid-internal ns-alt ns-dblcolon ns-hooks ns-internals ns-lowlev ns-reflect.Rd tools-internal ts-defunct utils-deprecated utils-internal ... and another i.e, function/word separate for '-' were all substituted by codes_deprecated grid_internal ns_alt ns_dblcolon ns_hooks ns_internals ns_lowlev ns_reflect.Rd tools_internal ts_defunct utils_deprecated utils_internal ... and another i.e, by '_' Because it is impossible to make a good highlighter with the first one.
Your suggested names are all valid identifiers. The "-" gives strings that are not. That's intentional; the help system relies on it. You find "utils-deprecated" using deprecated?utils. If your highlighter has problems with the "-", then don't bother highlighting. Those names aren't very common. Or...
How to differentiating myValue: varOne = 100 varTwo = 50 myValue = varOne-varTwo from codes-deprecated, or ns-alt, for example.
...you could do it by context. codes-deprecated will only show up in *.Rd files as a possible search term: an alias, or a name. Duncan Murdoch
