I am getting failure of build and check, for an Rd file that has a long

Guess diagnosis: a quoted string beyond a certain point in the argument list is
fatal.
No, the problem is that % is a comment marker in .Rd. You need to
escape those in the dateformat default. Apparently
prompt() doesn't know this...

Example: Use the function below, create an Rd file for it with prompt(). Move
the .Rd
file to the man directory (no need to edit it) and try building
dart.control <- function(server=c("production", "integration", "development",
"http"),
out.poll.duration = 5,
out.poll.increase = 1.1,
out.poll.max = 30,
out.poll.timeout = 3600,
netrc.path,
netrc.server = "ldap",
rtype = c("xml", "json"),
dateformat= "%Y-%m-%d") {
server <- match.arg(server)
server
}
I created a package "dummy" with only this function, and get the following on
my Linux box.
tmt-local2021% R CMD build dummy
* checking for file ‘dummy/DESCRIPTION’ ... OK
* preparing ‘dummy’:
* checking DESCRIPTION meta-information ... OK
