Re: [Rd] normal-bracket50bracket-normal?

These usually indicate incorrect files. Have you looked at the 
experimental Rd parser in R-devel to see if it pinpoints an error?


For example, in both Fperm.Rd and compareDerivatives.Rd there is an 
\itemize{} construct inside \value, which is incorrect as \value is itself 
an implicit \itemize.  Please do check the description in 'Writing R 
Extensions' (and \value is definitely quirky).

What can we do to eliminate this nonsense comment?

Constructs like this seem to be generated in perl code used in R

Dear Prof. Ripley: 

 Thanks very much.  It looks like removing the \itemize from 
within \value should fix the problem, though I haven't fully tested it 
yet.  I previously removed that from Fperm.fd and the problem is fixed 
there.  I haven't yet tested it with tperm.fd and compareDerivatives. 

 Thanks again. 
 Spencer
