Line breaks in mathematical formulae in Rd files (PR#13287)
Hi, This is a problem about writing R documentation (R-exts 2.6). The command "\deqn" defined in "Rd.sty" is: \newcommand{\deqn}[2]{\[#1\]} which will put mathematical formulae in the "displaymath" environment; that means line breaks are not allowed (or will not be shown) in formulae, but sometimes we do need multiple lines of formulae. One solution is to write

Using MathJax in R's help system
Hi, I am doing a small experiment to test if I can use MathJax ( official site: http://www.mathjax.org ) in R's html help pages (i.e. options(help_type='html')) and it seems working with some minor modifications. The screenshot (rendered by Firefox 4.0 beta and with STIX fonts) of the help page in html format with MathJax enabled is at the following url:

When to use quasipoisson instead of poisson family
It seems that MASS suggest to judge on the basis of sum(residuals(mode,type="pearson"))/df.residual(mode). My question: Is there any rule of thumb of the cutpoiont value? The paper "On the Use of Corrections for Overdispersion" suggests overdispersion exists if the deviance is at least twice the number of degrees of freedom. Are there any further hints? Thanks. -- Ronggui

Hi Everyone, When generating help files for a R package, can I specify the order of the R functions? Now I can see that the functions are sorted according to their names. However, for my case, there are two functions are closely related, but they are separated by some other functions. I think it would be better if I could specify the order of the functions in the help pdf manual. Thanks, Runlong

Experimental Rd parser in trunk.
I've just committed the parse_Rd() function to R-devel. This is a parser for Rd files, described in http://developer.r-project.org/parseRd.pdf It is not identical to the current parser, and about a dozen of the base man pages currently signal syntax errors. It also detected errors in 10 files that were errors according to both definitions, but were missed by the current system, and

Checking your package's help files
It seems that many package authors do not proofread the help installed with their packages. The Rd converter is not a parser, and it will silently produce incorrect results on incorrect input (and some correct input). Here are a few hints about some common errors: 1) When you run R CMD check you get a PDF manual at <pkg>.Rcheck/<pkg>-manual.pdf. Read through it looking for

Two problems building a package
Hello all: I have written a few R scripts and am trying to turn them into a package for submission to CRAN. All of these scripts are R code only, no C or C++ or anything else. I'm working with R 2.0.1 running on a Windows XP machine. So far running ">rcmd install --build --docs=normal mypkge" seems to work (i.e., the library "mypkge" is installed in R\rw2001\library and

Line breaks in mathematical formulae in Rd files
Hello, I would like to implement the feature request described here: https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=13287. I think this is a very worthwhile feature. However, I need just a little push in the right direction. When I added either a new command or change the old one to use eqnarray as proposed, the "\\" newline characters were not properly passed to latex - even

Maths in R documentation (PR#523)
The document R-exts contains the following example of using mathematics in R documentation. \deqn{p(x) = {\lambda^x\ \frac{e^{-\lambda}}{x!}} {p(x) = lambda^x exp(-lambda)/x!} There is a syntax error in there, but that's not my point. The problem is that using "R CMD Rd2dvi" I find that putting the alternate forms of the equation on top of each other doesn't work.

Best practices in developing package: From a single file
I fully agree with Joris and Hadley on roxygen2. Additionally: I wrote and published my first package before roxygen (or roxygen2) was available. I found editing .Rd extremely terse (especially when code is updated). For example, the fact that there are no spaces allowed between } and { in \param{}{} has hurt my brain quite a few times, especially since R CMD check did not give any useful error

bash help please
I'd like to make MikTeX the default TeX package in 2.2.0, but we still need to let people use other packages. The problem is that MikTeX wants a command line option --include-directory $R_HOME/share/texmf, while other packages specify includes via environment variables, and barf when they see the unexpected option. The choice should be controlled by the user's settings in the MkRules

Error using Rd2dvi on OSX
Hi, I run R 2.5.1 on Mac OS 10.4.10 and fail to build a package manual. Below is the transcript. The problem is a "pdflatex: command not found" error but I think that I have a fully working latex install (installed with iInstaller) as I use TeXShop with no problem. Could someone help?
