Dear list,
I am writing an R package manual and there is still a warning when I run "R
CMD check" about "NON-ASCII contents without declared encoding". I do get
the warning comes from an accent in the name of one of the author
(Geneviève), but I can't find what I am supposed to do about it. I know
there is a section about encoding in the "Writing R extension" manual, but
I couldn't understand what I should do from reading it.
Any help is welcomed.
You need to declare what encoding you are using. Put a line in your
DESCRIPTION file like
Encoding: utf-8
If you don't know what encoding you are using, you can probably find out
by reading the docs for your text editor, or just guess: If you are on
Windows it is likely latin1, on Linux it is likely utf-8. If you guess
wrong you'll get errors or ugly text when R produces the manual.
