In 1.7.1 and today's r-patched in Windows, starting a continuation line with a tab in a DESCRIPTION file causes the continuation to be lost. For example, I have this file:
Package: orientlib Title: Support for orientation data Version: 0.2 Author: Duncan Murdoch Description: Representations, conversions and display of orientation SO(3) data. See the orientlib help topic for details. Maintainer: Duncan Murdoch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> License: GPL The Description line is supposed to show up on 2 lines; line wrapping might have messed it up. When I put a tab at the start of the line ahead of "See the orientlib help topic", I don't get that line in the .pdf manual produced by Rcmd Rd2dvi.sh --pdf orientlib When I put a space there (as above), it works fine. Could someone let me know if this is Windows-specific? If not, opinions about whether the error in is the script or the documentation (Writing R Extensions, Creating R packages, Package Structure, The DESCRIPTION file) would be welcome.
