In .Rd files, we use \url{stuff} to refer to a URL on the web. Just as the
documentation says.
Perhaps this isn't a bug, then, but certainly it's a trap for the unwary. If
the construction
\link{url{something}}
appears in a .Rd file, then
Rdconv --type=html ...
gets stuck and appears to grow and grow and grow...
My version of Perl is 5.6.0.
A warning in the documentation might be considered a fix for this, although it
might reasonably be regarded as going too far in warning people against their
own stupidity!
Would it be better if it caused an error? I have no idea what would be involved
in trapping that, and obviously if it's not a simple matter then this is one for
the trashcan.
David
