Adelchi,
Since % is the LaTeX comment character, you may want to
try escaping it.
As package 'base' does at

Either R-devel or this -- I would probably send questions about
preparing packages to R-devel as you are more likely to catch the
attention of active developers there.
An attempt to update package 'mnormt' involves the addition of a
small new function called 'pd.solve'. When I come to the package
checking stage, an error occurs in parsing pd.solve.Rd.
The full transcript of the outcome is copied below (it includes details
on my installation) but the critical point is where the \examples{}
section includes a %*%. The relevant portion of the source file is
\examples{
x<- toeplitz(rev(1:4))
x.inv<- pd.solve(x)
print(x.inv %*% x)
logDet<- attr(x.inv, "log.det")
print(abs(logDet - determinant(x, logarithm=TRUE)$modulus))
}
which leads to the message
### ** Examples

+ logDet<- attr(x.inv, "log.det")
Error: unexpected symbol in:
" print(x.inv
logDet"
When I install the package, it works, except that the documentation
portion looks like:
Examples
x<- toeplitz(rev(1:4))
x.inv<- pd.solve(x)
print(x.inv
logDet<- attr(x.inv, "log.det")
print(abs(logDet - determinant(x, logarithm=TRUE)$modulus))
It seems that the examples are parsed as ordinary text, not R commands.
I am really puzzled. Any explanation?
