...nual editing, see #' ?help("citation")?. Where do we go from here? I do want to use the Chinese locale with R on Windows (and perhaps others do too), so switching the locale isn't a fix.

...is a continuation of the R-devel thread with subject "suggestion to fix packageDescription() for Windows users" : As I said there, a patch should rather address the underlying problem in packageDescription rather than a kludgy workaround patch for citation(). (For that same reason, Ben Marwick proposed to fix packageDescription() rather than the symptom seen in citation().) It's not hard to see that the problem is that iconv() in Windows does not always succeed to translate from "UTF-8" to the "current locale", in the case mentioned there. I'm giving some...

I was browsing some recent R news at http://developer.r-project.org/blosxom.cgi/R-devel/NEWS/2016/01/03#n2016-01-03 And reading this item: "tapply() has been made considerably more efficient without changing functionality, thanks to proposals from Peter Haverty and Suharto Anggono. (PR#16488)" But I found that the link in the item goes to a page about the GUI, not tapply:

Recently I was trying to cite a package where the authors have ? and ? in their names. I found that on Windows the citation() function did not return the authors' names at all, but on Linux there was no problem (sessionInfos at the bottom): On Windows, no author names are returned: #--------------- > citation("readr") To cite package ?readr? in publications use: (2017).

Hi Everyone, I recently has some problems formatting DOIs correctly in a pkg submitted to CRAN. Kurt kindly informed me that in the man pages they must be \{doi:XXX} (noted in https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-exts.html#User_002ddefined-macros) and in the DESCRIPTION they must be <DOI:XXX> (not specifically noted anywhere). I wondered if others had similar problems
