Dear Kurt,

I tried your proposal. It also led to

Bad \usage lines found in documentation object 'Subsetting-methods':
 \S4method{[}{SeqDataFrames}(x, i, j, k, drop = FALSE)
 \S4method{[}{SeqDataFrames}(x, i, j, k) <- value

My sessionInfo:

Dear developers,
We want to use "\S4method" to document new S4-methods for "[" and "[<-". We use this for other functions/methods and it works without any problem, but in case of "[" and "[<-" we didn't manage to bring this to work.

The problem occurs in the development version of our package "distrSim" which can be found under http://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=87.

The warning we obtain is

Bad \usage lines found in documentation object 'Subsetting-methods':
  \S4method{[}{SeqDataFrames}(x, i, j, k, drop = FALSE)
  \S4method{[<-}{SeqDataFrames}(x, i, j, k, value)

Of course, we tried several different possibilities but with no
success.

You should be able to do the same you would do for indicating S3 methods
for subsetting.  I.e.,

  \S4method{[}{SeqDataFrames}(x, i, j, k) <- value

If this does not work, it is a bug.  I'll have a look.

-k

Does someone know a package which shows a use case for this situation? I looked in several packages but could not found any.

Thanks for your help!
Matthias
