I'm attaching an small text file on "Getting your stuff organized in R". (Sorry if sending an attachment is not considered a correct etiquette in r-help, but this is only 7911 bytes, plain ascii text and I cannot post it in a web page at the moment). Probably all the information in this document is scattered in one or more R introduction guides, but I think that it is useful to have

I'm trying: R CMD Rdconv file.Rd --type=Ssgm If file.Rd contains \code{x} then this is currently translated as <s-expression>x</s-expression> I suggest instead translating to <code>x</code> (provided that R CMD Sd2Rd is changed to support the <code> tag; I just submitted that bug separately). Note that this is an enhancement, not a bug. This change would

Calling package.skeleton() results in corrupted Rd-file stub on my system. It (the file) is contaminated with mass question marks. This happens only for package Rd file, Rd stubs for *package functions* are generated nicely. An example of bad Rd file created by package.skeleton(): \name{cmrutils-package} \alias{cmrutils-package} \alias{cmrutils} \docType{package} \title{ What the package does

The documentation for 'order()' has the following sentence: `sort.list' is the same, using only one argument put allowing partial sorting.

In the latest R 2.8 alpha for Win32, if either of the commands are typed: > help("erfc") .. or .. > ?erfc the result is: No documentation for 'erfc' in specified packages and libraries: you could try '??erfc' This should be: 'help.search("erfc")', as shown in R 2.7.2 Apologies if this has already been submitted/fixed. -Mike --please do not edit

Hi, people. The output produced by "?options" contains: 'expressions': sets a limit on the number of nested expressions that will be evaluated. Valid values are 25...500000 with default 1000. [...] and a bit further down: The 'factory-fresh' default settings of some of these options are [...] 'expressions'

The on-line documentation for par() refers to a 'gamma' argument.

Hi everyone, Two minor points about ?.Renviron. 1) If R_ENVIRON is not set then R defaults to `${R_HOME}/etc/Renviron', not `${R_HOME}/etc/Renviron.site' as stated. 2) In the details, there is a missing "way" in "`value' is processed in a similar to a Unix shell."

<<insert bug report here>> The note in the as.Date() documentation is ambiguous (is it referring to February 3rd, 2001, or March 2nd, 2001?) While it is certainly true that one could peruse the ISO 8601 standard to determine which ordering is correct, changing the example day to one where the day value is >12 would resolve the ambiguity.

Hi, This is (presumably?) a bug in R 1.7.0 under Windows. I have not tested it on other systems. Attachment of packages is case sensitive but not library(), resulting in multiple loadings of the same package if the library name is spelled differently. The following example loads the `tools' package, once as `tools' and once as `Tools'. This behavior is the same with all packages and

Just a few documentation "bugs" that I've noticed recently. 1. In the help for (dpqr)weibull(), the formula given for the variance of a Weibull is wrong. The correct formula is b^2 * sqrt(gamma(1 + 2/a) - (gamma(1 + 1/a))^2)) Note that I've also changed Gamma to gamma, which I think is preferable since this is actually the name of the gamma() function
