I think tools::Rd2HTML has a problem with the dl tag. Under some conditions, <p> and </p>, and <dl> and </dl> are not nested correctly. Here is an example from the "options" doc file: -- <p> <dl> <dt><code>save.defaults</code>, <code>save.image.defaults</code>:</dt><dd> see <code>save</code>.</dd> </p> -- You can see that the <p> starts, then <dl> starts, then </p> end the paragraph, but the <dl> has not ended yet. I don't really understand in html, but I think the correct way would be -- <dl> <p> <dt><code>save.defaults</code>, <code>save.image.defaults</code>:</dt><dd> see <code>save</code>.</dd> </p> -- Michael -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/problem-with-dl-tag-in-tools-Rd2HTML-tp2315499p2315499.html Sent from the R devel mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
