Hi Core Team,
I received an email about a problem with the help on the plotrix
package. Apparently the \link tags in the help pages were showing up as
literal text. I couldn't see this problem, nor any problem with the Rd
files. Since the plotrix package hasn't been built for a while, I
rechecked, rebuilt and reinstalled it. Sure enough, the \link tags
showed up as literal text in both text and HTML help. This may be
peculiar to R-2.10.1 as I never installed 2.10.0. If it helps, the
--no-latex tag wasn't recognized by the INSTALL command (although only
the HTML help was apparently built).
As far as I can see, the previous behavior of translating \link{ into <a
href="... and the following } into </a> has been lost. The \samp{ string
is now translated to an HTML span tag whereas I think it used to be
translated to a <code> tag and this may be where the problem lies.
I think this is all done in Perl, so I can't help with the debugging.
The help parsing is done in C now, and the conversion to output formats
is done in R. See the Rd2* functions in the tools package if you want
to debug anything.
