True. A markup command won't be enough to do the job. A function is needed to
count the character number (based on the font and size) and if it is greater
than the width of the page (based on A4 format or US letter), it will split the
line.
Now another question regarding the code in the \examples field: how to keep the
same format as the source code because all lines start vertically at the same
position? for ex, if I have tab set manually in the source code, it is ignored
in the pdf manual file. Do I have to use \tab? How about html help page?

I have noticed that there is one file 00Index.html in html folder. I didn't
have any error message when I ran R CMD check and build. But it seems that
other html files missing. How to repair?
If this is R > 2.10.0, it is expected. Static html files are not
generated upon installation any more. Contents is generated dynamically
upon request now.
when I ran R CMD check, the pdf manual file was created in one level up the
package folder. I moved it to help folder. How to set options so that it will
be created in the help folder?
The pdf manual is not part of a binary package. A user can ask R to
generate the manual or parts of it. The manual will so be generated by
CRAN, for example.

So there is no sort of automatic way like using a

splitting manually a line on different lines?
Well, how is the automatic command to know how to do
this? As you
will see from the autmatic wrapping in e.g. deparse(), we
are not able
to do a very good job.
There has been some talk about doing this automatically as
a backstop,
but I don't know the current state: in any case it does not
happen in
released versions of R.
True that this doesn't happen in Arguments field (I
confused with
Format field).
Also true that the codes used in Usage, Examples etc
are in
courrier. Is there any way to reduce the size and not
to change the
font of character for these fields?
You can change Rd.sty, which already contains options for
using
other fontsets.
Best,
Carol

Thank you very much Uwe. It works now.
I have a question about pdf formating in pdf
manual
file:
How to format the long lines which go to the
margin?
For ex, this happens in Usage field if a function
has many
arguments. Also, it happens in examples or
Arugment sections
when the lines are long.
Correct the sources by re-formatting over-long
lines
yourself. (This should only happen in
verbatim-like
sections, hence unlikely to happen in
\argument{}.)
One of the things we suggest when checking a
package is to
read through the PDF manual, and this is one of
the problems
to look out for. (Note that it does depend on
the
fonts used for the PDF, but the default Courier
for
monospaced text is somewhat wide.)
