Hello Bert, Thank you for the reply and your clarifications. Yes, it might be helpful to look into R’s formal grammar to see how “function” parses input to delegate correct syntax. Is that accessible online?

This is a plain text list; all html is stripped. So there is no red highlighting. 2. There is no "source code" for "function" -- it is a reserved keyword. Or are you looking for R's formal grammar -- e.g. how it parses input to determine correct syntax?

Does anyone know how I can access the source code for this? For example, if I have norm <- function(x){ sqrt(x%*%x)) } I am looking for the source code for the “function” portion, highlighted in red.
