Using https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/submission_checklist.html, I have a real but non-conformant DOI string in my DESCRIPTION file: https://doi.org/10.1002/(SICI)1097-0258(19990830)18:16<2147::AID-SIM179>3.0.CO;2-I giving in check --as-cran: Found the following (possibly) invalid DOIs: ? DOI: 10.1002/(SICI)1097-0258(19990830)18:16<2147::AID-SIM179 ??? From: DESCRIPTION ??? Status: Bad Request ??? Message: 400 as parsing the string appears not to parse the embedded ">" correctly. Is escaping possible? Easiest would be just dropping the DOI in this case, as it is not rendering correctly. It looks like the pattern string in tools/R/doitools.R line 33 is over-eager. Hints welcome,
URLencode() it for the DESCRIPTION file.
Thanks, that is much simpler than expecting processing DESCRIPTION to sort it out: URLencode() the string in R and copy/paste the output into the DESCRIPTION file. Best wishes, Roger
Best, Uwe
