[R] \dQuote in packages

[Rebecca Sela]

That's good to know.  I have attached three Rd files that gave errors (others gave identical errors).  I would love to know what is wrong with them.

I'm using 2.1.1 because that is what is installed on the Linux computer I have access to.  (I haven't bothered figuring out how to assemble a package in Windows.)

Thank you for your help!

Rebecca

The difference you are experiencing is the new Rd2 parser that is more 
picky now (but also prevents to produce wrong documentation files).

If you make the code of the Rd available, someone might be able to help.

Are you really under R-2.1.1 ??? That is really ancient!


Best,
