similar to: Rd2pdf error after 2.14 upgrade‏

R Community, I often am in need of viewing the reference manuals of packages and do not have Internet access. I have used the code: path <- find.package('tm') system(paste(shQuote(file.path(R.home("bin"), "R")),"CMD", "Rd2pdf",shQuote(path))) someone kindly provided from this help list to generate the manuals from the latex files. This

On the local machine the command R11 CMD Rd2pdf survfit.Rd works fine. R12 CMD Rd2pdf survfit.Rd fails with the message below.

Hi, The following command: R CMD Rd2pdf --no-preview --output=./tmp.pdf --title=test genefu-package.Rd run against this file: https://hedgehog.fhcrc.org/bioconductor/trunk/madman/Rpacks/genefu/man/genefu-package.Rd (username: readonly; password: readonly) produces a very verbose error (see below) with R version 2.15.0 alpha (2012-03-07 r58622).

Hi list, When using R CMD Rd2pdf, it is possible to set environment variable RD2PDF_INPUTENC to value "inputenx" and enjoy better support for UTF-8 characters (see ?Rd2pdf). This enables LaTeX package "inputenx" instead of "inputenc". Even better support for UTF-8 encoded characters can be had by better using the facilities provided by inputenx and making R CMD

No, I do not get the same as you. I have tested with R-devel and R-patched compiled today. When I do R CMD Rd2pdf mpra I get (as reported a few days ago) Hmm ... looks like a package Converting Rd files to LaTeX Error : mpra/man/mpra-package.Rd:6: file './DESCRIPTION' does not exist whereas you (Kurt) reports that this works on zTree. When I do R CMD Rd2pdf mpra/man I get - a

Sorry for the noise. I assumed I could run this in the same directory as R CMD check. If I cd into the package dir, and run it like R CMD Rd2pdf man it works. I was a bit sleep deprived yesterday. The fact that the output starts by Hmm ... looks like a package threw me off. That output suggests it should work, I think. So I would suggests either 1) handling both package and man directories

Hi Peter, Duncan & Bert, Thank you kindly for the responses. Indeed, doc/NEWS.pdf is included in the source distribution, and then removed upon "make clean". I thought that it might be useful to report this for your benefit, but on closer inspection it appears that I'm getting errors that arise due to incompatibilities in my texlive and texinfo installations. This is the error

When I include the macros \packageAuthor, \packageDescription, \packageTitle, \packageMaintainer in a XX-package.Rd file, R CMD Rd2pdf fails with $ R CMD Rd2pdf mpra Hmm ... looks like a package Converting Rd files to LaTeX Error : mpra/man/mpra-package.Rd:6: file './DESCRIPTION' does not exist This does not happen if I comment out 4 occurrences of these 4 macros in mpra-package.Rd.

Hi everyone, >From the currently available version of the package VBmix, I would like to retrieve the intermediate .tex file that generates the VBmix-manual.pdf file. Formerly, running R CMD check with --no-clean allowed to get this tex source from a hidden directory : this feature was removed, but can apparently still be accessed through R CMD Rd2pdf --no-clean. Surprisingly, while the

Simple question but searching rseek did not yield the results I wanted. Question: Is there a way to open a help manual for a package from within R. For instance I would like to type a function in r for the tm package and R would open that PDF as seen here: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/tm/tm.pdf -The vignette function exists for vignettes [vignette("package.name")] so I

Dear list, I am trying to produce a pdf manual using Rtools (version 3.1.0.1936) on Windows 8 (64-bit). I am also aware of the inconsolata issue posted in the forum (https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2013-June/066850.html), and then I have installed the patched version of R-3.0.1. However I still have some errors with the following message: R CMD Rd2pdf mypack Hmm ... looks like a package

Hi all, Sorry if I seem a bit pissed because I am! Basically, I have written some script and I wanted to make a "documentation" for it using .Rd format. ############################################################################ I followed the example here in http://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/utils/html/prompt.html created the file plot.default.rd in my directory. But

Hi, I want to create a pdf of my Man-pages from my package. Therefore I run in the terminal Rd2pdf on the package and a pdf of all the pages is created. After the titlepage there is the general package page, which includes "Description" and "Details" etc. Unfortunately after the Subtitle "Details" there is a pagebreak (and 3/4 white page) which I did not set

Hello: 1. How can I tell when the development version of Rtools has changed? For the past few years, I've installed the development version of R tools with each new release of R. I encountered problems with this a few days ago, so I rolled back to Rtools212.exe. Unfortunately, I seem to have more problems with that version. My latest install was under Windows 7 Home Edition.

Hi, Due to a change in Rd.sty a few days ago (https://github.com/wch/r-source/commit/620eb9a#diff-3bf3d821c6faae50cd6ec931f6f63296L272), the default installation of TeXLive 2009 or 2012 no longer works when building Rd to PDF. The error log is like this: =============== Converting Rd files to LaTeX ..... Creating pdf output from LaTeX ... Error in texi2dvi(file = file, pdf = TRUE, clean = clean,

I noticed a shQuote fix for Windows in the svn logs. Just wanted to point out that this will favorably affect texi2dvi on Windows which previously used UNIX quoting and so generated an incorrect Windows command. (Note that texi2dvi is used when creating vignettes.) Another problem is that the recommended tex distribution for Windows, fptex, does not have texi2dvi in the first place. The

Hi and thanks for the prompt reply. I cannot say I understood or know what to do. Can you please tell me which is this mailing list? ???? 2:15 ?.?. ???????, 5 ??????? 2018, ?/?

Dear R-users, It is my understanding that cat(shQuote(a.string)) should print the origintal a.string. Is this right? I am not sure cat() correctly prints strings which are generated by triple-shQuote(): > shQuote(shQuote("a")) [1] "\"\\\"a\\\"\"" > cat(shQuote(shQuote(shQuote("a"))), '\n')
