not sure whether this is MAC specific:

Why do you suppose it would be?

I use \itemize or \enumerate in some manpages. it worked previously, but I'm not sure up till when...
now (with 2.10.1) I see the following:

-- using the R-GUI manpages are displayed correctly

with HTML help, the default, I guess.

-- in the Terminal.app (or xterm) only the bullet points (or enumerating numbers) are displayed, but the actual description
 for the item is missing.

with text help (the default), I guess.

any ideas?

RTFM time: your help (sic) pages are incorrect. That is not how \item works in those environments, and the braces are incorrect. For an example of the correct layout, see src/library/base/man/dcf.Rd in the R sources.


thanks

ps: macos 10.5.8 ppc
pps: in case, the problem is my manpage, the source code of this (rudimentary) manpage is:

\name{metacor}
\alias{metacor}
\title{
Perform metabolite correction
}
\description{
Computes metabolite corrected input function from whole blood data plus
time dependent metabolite fraction
}
\usage{
metacor(input, metfrac = 0)
}
\arguments{
\item{input}{
measured input function (class \code{Roidata})
}
\item{metfrac}{
metabolite fraction
}
}
\details{
The metabolite fraction has to be in one of the following formats.

 \enumerate{
    \item{a single number}
    \item{a vector of metabolite fractions corresponding one-to-one to the
       time points in input}
    \item{a two column matrix (time vs. metab. fraction) where time units
       have to be the same as those used in input}
    \item{a Roidata object including timing information}
 }
}
\value{
metabolite corrected input function (\code{Roidata} object)
}
