Subject: [R-pkg-devel] Should R be in single quotes in package Description filed in DESCRIPTION file?

Looking at `tools::CRAN_package_db()`, I can see 1433 packages that mention R in the Description field, and only 77 use single quotes around it. So I would say that the consensus seems to be to *not* use single quotes.
On the other hand, I am not convinced you need to mention R at all in your Description field. So maybe a third option would be:
Description: Created to host raw accelerometry data sets and their
derivatives which are used in the corresponding 'adept' package.

Should R be in single quotes in package Description filed in DESCRIPTION
file? E.g. which of the following versions of Description file is correct?
1. Description: Created to host raw accelerometry data sets and their
derivatives which are used in the corresponding 'adept' 'R' package.
2. Description: Created to host raw accelerometry data sets and their
derivatives which are used in the corresponding 'adept' R package.
Thank you,
Marta
