Hi
I make a point of going through my packages every so often and perusing
the check results on CRAN.
The aylmer package generates a warning (under R-2.9.0) for an Rd file
which I think is OK.
The package is clean under R-2.8.1.
Specifically, the warning is:
* checking Rd files ... OK
* checking Rd files against version 2 parser ... *WARNING*
*** error on file ./man/icons.Rd
Error in parse_Rd("./man/icons.Rd", encoding =
"unknown") :
./man/icons.Rd: 16:3: unexpected section header at
15: :
16: \description
problem found in ?icons.Rd?
The Rdversion 2 parser is experimental, but almost all reports are
correct.
And the relevant file lines in icons.Rd are:
14 The six icons were used in this study were:
15 \description{
16 \item[PB] polar bears, which face extinction through loss of ice
17 floe hunting grounds
18 \item[NB] the Norfolk Broads, which flood due to intense rainfall
19 events
20 \item[LF] London flooding, as a result of sea level rise
21 \item[THC] the Thermo-haline circulation, which may slow or stop as
22 a result of anthropogenic modification of the hydrological cycle
23 \item[OA] oceanic acidification as a result of anthropogenic emissions
24 of carbon dioxide
25 \item[WAIS] the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, which is calving into the sea
26 as a result of climate change
27 }

Oops .... > >Ouch. aylmer.dvi looks fine under R-2.8.1 but indeed the text versions are not as intended. I guess that the machinery for text documentation is less tolerant of inappropriate LaTeX-isms. All works fine with \describe in place of \description. thanks again rksh -- Robin K. S.
