[Rd] Small nit in Sweave

2011-11-15 Thread Terry Therneau
Two small Sweave issues.

1. I had the following line in my code
   echo=FALSE, results=hide

resulting in the message
Error in match.arg(options$results, c(verbatim, tex, hide)) : 
  'arg' should be one of “verbatim”, “tex”, “hide”

  I puzzled on this a bit since my argument exactly matched the message,
until I thought of trying it without the quotes.

2. Where should I have reported this?  Sweave is not on CRAN so I
couldn't find the maintainer email there.  Perhaps I'm missing something
obvious though

Interesting. I never thought of using the 'results' options as quoted character 
vectors, even though in ?RweaveLatex, the description for the 'results' options 
indicates:

character string (verbatim). If verbatim, the output of R commands is 
included in the verbatim-like Soutput environment. If tex, the output is 
taken to be already proper LaTeX markup and included as is. If hide then all 
output is completely suppressed (but the code executed during the weave).


I can see how that could be confusing. All examples of the chunk headers I have 
seen do not use quoted values. Perhaps the above should state Non-quoted 
character values or similar verbiage.

In terms of reporting Terry, Sweave is in the 'utils' package, which is part of 
Base R, therefore under the copyright of The R Foundation. So here is fine.
