similar to: Nroff -> .Rd -> R-ex; html

Dear list, I have some help file for S-Plus 2000 in .d and .sgml format. Is there a way to translate these files to .Rd files to use in an R package? Thanks Fredrik Lundgren

Documentation for S3 functions is apparently written in troff markup with macro tags like .BG .FN .TL .DN .CS ... Inspection of S3 documentation source files gives a pretty clear idea of what these mean, semantically (and Sd2Rd is a perl script which converts this markup into the Rd format, providing further semantic information along the way). My query is: Can anyone point to troff

Hi, Just tested the latest snapshot on RHL72 via building RPM's of it. Nroff detection was wrong, and if no --with-mantype was specified, the type would always revert to cat. This one-byter fixes it. -- Pekka Savola "Tell me of difficulties surmounted, Netcore Oy not those you stumble over and fall" Systems. Networks. Security. -- Robert

Hi, On systems that have mandoc installed but are missing an nroff binary, the configure script will fall back to pre-formatted manual pages despite the fact that mandoc could be used. The proposed patch adds mandoc as a valid formatter to configure.ac. As mandoc supports the -mdoc flag, it can simply be added to the list of nroff-like binaries.

Hi, I am sorry about this stupid question but after compilation of openssh-2.3.0p1 the manpages were installed but a man ssh gives only unstructured response without underlined lines etc. A nroff -man sshd.8 gives the same output but the contents of the file shows a nroff-format. Any ideas? My system is a HP-UX 11.000 with the pam-patch. regards Stephan -- LDS Brandenburg Dr. Stephan Hendl

Hello, the man pages for openssh-2.3.0p1 look bad on our Tru64 Unix V4.0E systems. (Secure Shell) is a program for logging into a remote machine and for executing commands on a remote machine. It is intended to replace rlogin and rsh, and provide secure encrypted communica- tions between two untrusted hosts over an insecure network. X11 connections and arbitrary TCP/IP ports can also be

Thanks to Brian Ripley I have been using R utilities for some time for converting S-Plus UNIX nroff help files to .Rd to .html files. .Rd files seem to be the most natural format for help files and this format is probably easier to maintain than nroff, so I would like to start using .Rd files as my master documentation format if anyone has a utility for going from .Rd to nroff. I guess I could

Using R 1.8.1 on Solaris Developing an Splus and R package from the same files. Creating an alias for multiple functions to the same file in .sgml: <s-topics> <s-topic> my.function </s-topic> <s-topic> print.my.function </s-topic> </s-topics> using R CMD Sd2Rd would convert to: \name{my.function} \alias{my.function} \name{print.my.function}

Hi! Are there scripts or packages for generating Rd files out of "S3" code on cran? Has any one written such scripts (e.g. in Perl?) and are willing to share them? Thanks in advance. Eryk.

These are all in the port of 1.2.3pre2: - configure accepts --includedir, but doesn't seem to pass it on to the Makefile. You have to edit the Makefile manually if you have include files anywhere but /usr/include. Which is a problem because... - The Makefile doesn't include /usr/local/include by default, which is where zlib installs itself by default. Probably oughta be in there.

I am installing asterisk on a second box with OpenSuSE 10.2. I have installed libpri, run menuselect/configure and then make. The make stops at the last line shown below.

I have help files in several formats. Up until now I have converted nroff files to S-Plus 6 sgml and html files using Splus doc_to_S ... (creates .sgml file) Splus HINSTALL ... (creates .sgm and .html files) I maintain master help files in R .Rd files, and for some of my functions converting from .Rd to .sgm using R CMD Rdconv --type=Ssgm ... produces better .sgm files than beginning with

Afternoon I upgraded our oss''s from 1.8.3 to 1.8.4 on Saturday (due to https://bugzilla.lustre.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22755) and suffered a great deal of pain. We have 30 oss''s of multiple vintages. The basic difference between them is * md on first 20 nodes * 3ware 9650SE ML12 on last 10 nodes After the upgrade to 1.8.4 we were seeing terrible throughput on the nodes with

Thanks to Martin, there is another update of the S doc -> R doc script. It now correctly maps .SE into SECTION. -k *********************************************************************** #!/usr/bin/perl -w $VERSION = "0.1-3"; $\ = "\n"; $parenLevel = 0; $inVerbatim = 0; $inSeeAlso = 0; $doprint = 1; $needArg = 1; $needVal = 0; $output = ""; $opt_x = 0; use

Right out of the box (after I made Damien's LDFLAGS fix in configure) using gcc-2.95.2. The only problem I have now is the man pages. I still can't read them using Solaris nroff, and when I tried to build with --with-catman=cat, I got the following during a make install: /rtr/bin/install -c -m 644 ssh.[01].out /usr/local/man/cat1/ssh.1 Try `/rtr/bin/install --help' for more

Another update of the S doc -> R doc conversion script is attached below. Relative to the previously released version, there are two changes. * Quoting of parentheses does not happen in verbatim-like sections * More importantly, the way words in the .SA (SEEALSO) section are treated is now controlled by an optional argument, `-x'. Without this option, only words enclosed in single

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
