Hi,
I am working on producing an R package containing mostly S4 classes and methods.
I have generated and filled out all the necessary .Rd files but find that once installed
I am unable to access help pages for the classes using the ?package::classname-class
syntax that is suggested when using the ?? apropos search. This lists my package classes
and the class help pages. Instead, the "Arithmetic Operators" help page is
always loaded. I can load the pages I want via links like \linkS4class{classname} in my
package help page.
I have played with a couple of other packages and see the same problem. Is
there a different syntax to access these S4 class help pages rather than
?package::classname-class?
The problem is the parsing: that is parsed as `?`(stats4::mle - class),
i.e. there's a subtraction there, not a name with a hyphen in it. So
you're seeing help on subtraction.
You can get what you want with class?stats4::mle.
I'll see if I can fix the advice from ??.

Thanks
Troy
