\dQuote in packages

Here is one Rd file with problems, now inline so that it can be read:

\name{simpleREEMdata}
\docType{data}
\alias{simpleREEMdata}
\title{Sample Data for RE-EM trees}
\description{
This data set is consists of a panel of 50 individuals with 12 observations per individual.  The data is based on a regression tree with an initial split based on a dummy variable (\code{D}) and a second split based on time in the branch where \code{D=1}.  The observations include both randomly generated individual-specific effects and observation-specific errors.
}
\format{
The data has 600 rows and 5 columns.  The columns are: 

\item{\code{Y}}{the target variable}
\item{\code{t}}{a numeric predictor ("time")}
\item{\code{D}}{a catergorical predictor with two levels, 0 and 1}
\item{\code{ID}}{the identifier for each individual}
\item{\code{X}}{another covariate (which is intentionally unrelated to the target variable)}

}

Thanks again for your help!

Rebecca,

the attachments have been stripped off by the mailing list.

That's good to know.  I have attached three Rd files that gave errors (others gave identical errors).  I would love to know what is wrong with them.

I'm using 2.1.1 because that is what is installed on the Linux computer I have access to.  (I haven't bothered figuring out how to assemble a package in Windows.)

You should *really* upgrade! That version is outdated for several years now.

How to do it on Windows: See the R Installation and Administration 
manual with its corresponding section.

Best,
Uwe

Thank you for your help!

Rebecca

The difference you are experiencing is the new Rd2 parser that is more 
picky now (but also prevents to produce wrong documentation files).

If you make the code of the Rd available, someone might be able to help.

Are you really under R-2.1.1 ??? That is really ancient!


Best,
Uwe Ligges

I am in the process of submitting a package to CRAN.  R CMD check ran successfully on the package on my local computer, using R version 2.1.1.  However, on the computers for CRAN (with version 2.10.0), the following errors occurred:

Warning in parse_Rd("./man/predict.Rd", encoding = "unknown") :
  ./man/predict.Rd:28: unknown macro '\dquote'
*** error on file ./man/predict.Rd
Error : ./man/predict.Rd:28: Unrecognized macro \dquote

Warning in parse_Rd("./man/simpleREEMdata.Rd", encoding = "unknown") :

Are \dquote, \sideeffects, and \item not supported in newer versions of R?  Is there some underlying problem that I should fix that makes these show up?

Thank you very much.
