Hi all,
In trying to write an Rd file for a new package, I was stumped at
something that is probably quite simple. I have % characters in the
examples of one Rd file. Both my previous experience and some searching
argeed that one can escape % with \. This worked on this command:
fh_dates<-
as.Date(paste(florida_hurr20$day,florida_hurr20$month,
florida_hurr20$year,sep="-"),"\%d-\%b-\%Y")
which is okay in the HTML help page but it didn't work on another line
in the same file:
findval<-function(x,set) return(which(set \%in\% x))
The second line was cut off at the first % character in the HTML help
page. After lots of head scratching I noticed that the first line was
broken after the assignment so I changed the second line to:
findval<-
function(x,set) return(which(set \%in\% x))
and it worked properly! I don't know whether this qualifies as something
interesting to the core team, but I thought I would let you know.
Jim
