Dear list, I am trying to see if there is a way to expand the set of UTF-8 characters that we can use in Rd files. The main blocker is LaTeX when building the PDF manual.
It is possible to use the inputenx LaTeX package, instead of inputenc, which is an improvement, by setting the RD2PDF_INPUTENC env var before running R CMD Rd2pdf. However, I don't see a way to make this automatic for a package, so we cannot use it for CRAN packages, as far as I can tell. Am I missing something? Would it make sense to have a way to specify RD2PDF_INPUTENC (and possibly other similar env vars) for packages? As for the possible implementation, one way would be to have a file called `environ` or something similar in /man, that could define env vars, and Rd2pdf would just read it in with readRenviron().
