Dear list,
I've noticed that, when writing examples in an Rd file, you need to
escape the '%' character, even if it is valid R code.
I can see maybe this is the intended behaviour, but I found it a bit
surprising, and leads to cryptic error messages from 'R CMD check'.
The relevant section in the "writing R extensions" manual isn't clear
on that point either.
To reproduce the behaviour I'm talking about, you can run this snippet:
##
library(tools)
Rd2ex(parse_Rd(textConnection("
\\title{a}
\\name{b}
\\examples{
'a' %in% letters
}
")))
##
You can see that everything from '%' on is dropped from the output, as
a regular Rd comment. Should this be mentioned in the manual?
cheers,
fabio.
