So, you need to escape the underscores in gFunc6. Probably not gPac6
because underscores are not allowed in package names.
Nice find. Just in case Spencer has trouble with escaping the escapes,
I think he should change
"{\tt \Sexpr{gFunc6}}"
to
"{\tt \Sexpr{sub("_", "_", gFunc6)}}
CLOSE: That didn't work, but the following did:
{\tt \Sexpr{gsub("_", "_", gFunc6)}}
Even better would be to write a little function "sanitizeForLatex" that
did this and any other necessary changes, and call that.
That would doubtless be better, but I don't know enough to do that,
and the above worked.
Thanks very much to Duncan, Ivan, Vincent and Uwe, who contributed to

Yes, indeed (2 x).
If I grep the base R package sources, I find three occurrences
of something like the above:
grep --color -nH --null -e 'sub *(.*_' */R/*.R
tools/R/Rd2latex.R:295:x <- fsub("\\_", "_", x)
tools/R/Rd2latex.R:303:x <- fsub("\\_", ".Rul.", x)
tools/R/Rd.R:681:txt <- gsub("\\_", "_", txt, fixed=TRUE)
all of which do the transformation in the other direction
(because *.Rd in those cases already *is* LaTeX-alike, and needs
to convert for non-LaTeX use).
Note that the last one gives a hint to be more general --- gsub()
also working a.g. for 'parse_me_not' ---
*and* possibly faster (fixed=TRUE) leading to
"{\tt \Sexpr{gsub("_", "_", gFunc6, fixed=TRUE)}}

Yes, a good idea to use gsub and fixed = TRUE.
There are some changes in the other direction as well in that file (Rd
format is very complicated). I think the characters it handles are \,
&, $, %, _, #, {, }, ^, ~, occurring near line 145. Only _ is allowed
in a "syntactic" name, but others might turn up when trying to display
other code.

Re: [R-pkg-devel] help fixing CRAN package sos-now fails on GitHub
A simple fix might be to redefine findFn in the global environment of the
vignette, have it explicitly call sos::findFn, and return a result
sanitized for LaTeX output. According to this:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32865384/function-to-sanitize-strings-for-latex-compilation
it looks like there are a couple of options for that.

Re: [R-pkg-devel] help fixing CRAN package sos-now fails on GitHub
Hi, Uwe et al.:
The sos vignette sos.Rnw now fails on GitHub, complaining of a LaTeX
error in "{\tt pspline_ checker}". I don't find it in the code for
sos.Rnw. It may be triggered by a response to an internet search that's
different from before.
https://github.com/sbgraves237/sos
Uwe suggests I postprocess output with gsub("_", "_", output).
It's not clear to me where I should apply this. I am not eager to
change the code in the package, because it could break something else
that's currently working.
Suggestions?

I don't know how to detect, let alone fix the "Underlines" that
"need to be escaped in LaTeX."
If you receive an output, postprocess it via
gsub("_", "_", output)
Regarding the other issue that "Packages which use Internet
resources should fail gracefully with an informative message if the
resource is not available or has changed (and not give a check warning

I don't know how to detect, let alone fix the "Underlines" that
"need to be escaped in LaTeX."
If you receive an output, postprocess it via
gsub("_", "_", output)
Regarding the other issue that "Packages which use Internet
resources should fail gracefully with an informative message if the
resource is not available or has changed (and not give a check warning
nor error)", I assume I should wrap in "try" all tests in *.Rd files
that access the Internet and make sure that they don't fail "R CMD
check" if the Internet is not available.
Yes.

p.s. Yesterday I remember I got "WARN" on three of six CRAN checks
against r-devel on different platforms and NOTE on four of the seven
other CRAN checks. Today I see "WARN" on only two. If I just wait,
these "WARN" problems may go away by themselves. However, Prof. Ripley
gave me other problems to fix, and I want to support our kind, smart and
generous English professor.

Hi, Uwe et al.:
Thanks, Uwe, for your reply.
It's complaining about something in a vignette that has been part of
the package since it appeared in The R Journal in Volume 1/2 in 2009. I
received an email from Prof. Ripley complaining that it reported
problems ("WARN") on some of the CRAN checks. When I asked, Prof.
Ripley reply's reply included:

How does the output of findFn() end up being incorporated in the vignette output? Your function findFn() seems to have found the function JOPS::pspline_checker [*] somehow. Where in the vignette do you print() return values from findFn() and how exactly are they converted to LaTeX source? This conversion process needs to be adjusted to understand the newline symbol. It's somewhat mystifying that most of your code blocks use results=hide, so that the function output shouldn't be printed at all, and yet it does. -- Best regards, Ivan [*] https://search.r-project.org/CRAN/refmans/JOPS/html/pspline_checker.html __ R-package-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-package-devel
