Dear all,
the examples in the pdf files that are automatically built from the examples
in package help files are poorly formatted; they frequently do not wrap to
the next line and are cut off. While there is an easy work around by looking
at the examples in the corresponding help files, I do wonder if there is a
way to ensure proper line wrappiong when creating a package.
R will keep whatever formatting the package author puts in the source,
so the author simply needs to format the source code nicely. I imagine
there are automatic tools to do that (e.g. in ESS or Eclipse). Perhaps
the manuals could say how many characters fit on a line on A4 paper.
(North Americans get slightly more width on letter-sized paper). It
looks to me as though the limit is around 68 characters, though it's
still readable if it extends into the margin a little. I tend to set my
margins to 70 characters.
