[CCing to r-bugs to inform people that we have looked at it.]
Greg,
you sent me the example which can be reduced to an example.Rd file that
contains the following Example section:
############################
\examples{
# \code{} \code{}
foo <- function()
{
}
}
############################
calling now
R CMD Rdconv -t example example.Rd
results in:
############################
### ** Examples
# this-is-escaped-code{ this-is-escaped-codenormal-bracket9bracket-normal
foo <- function()
normal-bracket10bracket-normal
normal-bracket10bracket-normal
############################
I do not know whether this qualifies as a bug, but for simplicity let's say:
"Don't use \code{} in an Example section where it does not make sense
anyway."
Best,
Uwe
