R devel - Jun 2001 - Rd tag \link not working without \code (PR#1006)

Full_Name: Henrik Bengtsson
Version: 1.3.0
OS: Windows Me
Submission from: (NULL) (216.175.124.18)


Even though I know the Rd format might be replaced soon, I am report this just
in case:

The package optional argument for \link is *only* used when \link is in a \code
environment. Example:

  1) This link works: \code{\link[base]{cat}}
  2) But not this one: \link[base]{cat}

It looks like the "base" argument in the second case is not used at
all. In HTML
this results in a "missing" link, i.e. the search page is called. It
is
interesting to use \link without \code for non-object help pages such as
"Introduction" etc.

R.version:

platform i386-pc-mingw32
arch     x86
os       Win32
system   x86, Win32
status
major    1
minor    3.0
year     2001
month    06
day      22
language R

perl version: perl, v5.6.1 built for cygwin

Thanks

Henrik Bengtsson

It's a typo: line 564 of share/perl/R/Rdconv.pm should be

	my ($id, $arg, $opt) = get_link($text);

That really would not have been hard to investigate!
