Dear All,
how can I create a list in the \value{} section of an Rd file? The
things I have tried:
1.
\value{
text text
\item more text
\item even more
}
*** Syntax error: \item in
/-
\item more text
\item even more\-
2.
\value{
text text
\item{more text}
\item{even more}
}
This gives no error or warning, but the manual page looks as
The value section is like the \arguments section, there's an implicit
\describe around everything.
Value:
text text
more text: Numeric scalar giving the minimum correlation for
convergence.
even more: Numeric scalar giving the minimum correlation for
convergence.
That looks like a bug: you should have got nothing for the second arg
(or an error/warning that it was missing).
The Numeric... text is coming from the last \item{} in arguments{}...
3.
\value{
text text
\itemize{
\item{more text}
\item{even more}
}
}
Gives the same result as 2, but with a warning
The itemize style of list has zero-arguments on \item. So that's really
a bug if Numeric scalar... is showing up here.
Is there a proper way?
If you want a \describe style of list, just enter items as
\item{name}{description}
If you want an itemize style of list, enter it as
\itemize{
\item content
\item more content
}
Thanks for the report...
