The problem is in an unreleased version built in the development
environment.
The entire unreleased package can be found at this temporary location:
http://forest.moscowfsl.wsu.edu/gems/yaImpute_1.0-8.tar.gz
The original is on CRAN (version 1.0-7). It worked under the old parser,
but
not using parser 2 (the warnings on CRAN point to the problem).
You can see the difference by looking at TallyLake.Rd
in the two versions. I would be happy to send you just these files if
you'd
like me to.
Note that text version of the help file builds as I expect it to.
The problem is in the htlm version.
PS: I tried two versions of \items
\item{utmx}{UTM easting at plot center}
and
\item{utmx }{UTM easting at plot center}
(note added spaces, added for readability of the Rd file
this difference does not seem to matter.)
Thanks, Nick
