Hi, sorry for this lengthy post.
I am using R-2.0.0 on Unix, compiled.
Overview:
A) R CMD check: Unaccounted top-level text
B) In which sections of *.Rd is LaTeX notation allowed, where *not*?
C) Codoc mismatches and polyvalent parameters
D) Successful R CMD INSTALL and R CMD build
E) cp ../Rd.sty . is copy necessary?
F) latex ./CWHstat-manual.tex runs into trouble
When running >R CMD check CWHstat I get
====...
* checking foreign function calls ... OK
* checking Rd files ... WARNING
Rd files with likely Rd problems:
Unaccounted top-level text in file
'/home/woodstock/hoffmacw/R/Sources/CWHstat/man/qnorm.appr.Rd':
Following section 'arguments':
"\n\\value {\n "
See chapter 'Writing R documentation files' in manual 'Writing R
Extensions'.
* checking for missing documentation entries ... OK
* checking for code/documentation mismatches ... WARNING
C) Codoc mismatches from documentation object 'my.table':
my.table.margin
Code: function(v, w)
Docs: function(m)
* checking Rd \usage sections ... OK
...
The relevant code snippets:
/CWHstat/man/qnorm.appr.Rd:
...
\arguments{
\item{p}{vector of probabilities.}
\item{mean}{vector of means.}
\item{sd}{vector of standard deviations.}
\item{log.p}{logical; if TRUE, probabilities p are given as log(p).}
\item{lower.tail}{logical; if TRUE (default), probabilities are P[X
<= x], otherwise, P[X > x].}
}
\value {
\code{qnorm... gives the quantile function.}
}
...
A) ------- Question:
Unaccounted top-level text in file
'/home/woodstock/hoffmacw/R/Sources/CWHstat/man/qnorm.appr.Rd':
Following section 'arguments':
"\n\\value {\n "
--Question: Where in Writing .. is this topic treated? The string seems
to come from a lower level of "check".
--Question: This error did *not* occur under 1.9.last. Does it have to
do with [] ?
------- Question:
B) In which sections of *.Rd is LaTeX notation allowed, where *not*?
The relevant code snippets:
/CWHstat/man/my.table.margin.Rd:
\name{my.table}
\alias{my.table.margin}
\usage{
my.table.margin(v,w)
my.table.margin(m)
}
\arguments{
\item{v, w}{Factors.}
\item{m}{Matrix.}
}
/CWHstat/man/my.table.margin.r:
my.table.margin <- function(v, w) {
if (missing(w)) tab <- v else tab <- table(v, w)
C) ------- Question:
How can I document this type of behaviour of polyvalent parameters
without "check" baulking at me?
D) Next:
--------
hoffmacw at fluke:~/R/Sources >R CMD INSTALL --library=lib CWHstat
* Installing *source* package 'CWHstat' ...
** R
** preparing package for lazy loading
** help
>>> Building/Updating help pages for package 'CWHstat'
Formats: text html latex example
* DONE (CWHstat)
(*successful*)
Next:
-----
hoffmacw at fluke:~/R/Sources >R CMD build --force CWHstat
* checking for file 'CWHstat/DESCRIPTION' ... OK
* preparing 'CWHstat':
* removing junk files
* building 'CWHstat_4.0.4.tar.gz'
(*successful*)
Next:
-----
hoffmacw at fluke:~/R/Sources >cd CWHstat.Rcheck
hoffmacw at fluke:~/R/Sources/CWHstat.Rcheck >cp ../Rd.sty .
E) *comment* copy is necessary, because each run of check destroys old
directory *.Rcheck, Is there a way around this? I cannot write to
$R_HOME/share.
F)

------- Question:
F) Are these follow-up errors?
Thanks for giving me any hints. I searched
http://stat.ethz.ch/CRAN/src/base/NEWS
but I cannot make sense of: `--no-codoc', because I want the check.
Thanks for any hints
