Hi, Below I've flagged some sentences in the R documentation (from cvs) which are garbled in some way. If anyone can clarify what these sentences should say I'd be grateful.
The problems were picked up as part of the proof-reading of the R manuals by Ciaran O'Riordan. After looking at the text neither of us could figure out what the documentation was meant to say. -- Brian Gough Network Theory Ltd -- Publishing Free Software Manuals 15 Royal Park Bristol BS8 3AL United Kingdom Tel: +44 (0)117 3179309 Fax: +44 (0)117 9048108 Web: http://www.network-theory.co.uk/ Index: src/library/base/man/merge.Rd =================================================================== RCS file: /home/cvsroot/R/src/library/base/man/merge.Rd,v retrieving revision 1.1.1.1 diff -u -r1.1.1.1 merge.Rd --- src/library/base/man/merge.Rd 7 Nov 2003 11:57:17 -0000 1.1.1.1 +++ src/library/base/man/merge.Rd 5 Dec 2003 16:23:13 -0000 @@ -43,6 +43,7 @@ that match on the specified columns are extracted, and joined together.
