Thanks, that works.
Are there any drawbacks to doing that in general?
If not, I suggest the following patch for utils/prompt.R
87c87,88
< paste(deparse(argls[[i]], width.cutoff= 500L),
---
> paste(deparse(argls[[i]], width.cutoff= 500L,
> backtick = TRUE),
(Did I get right that this is waht I'm supposed to do?)
Best regards & thanks again,
Claudia

Dear all,
I just noticed, that prompt () looses backticks that protect default
arguments:
f <- function (FUN = `*`) {}
cat (prompt (f, NA)$usage)
yields:
\usage{ f(FUN = *) } %- maybe also 'usage' for other objects
documented here.
without the backticks, which is of course found by R CMD check as
syntax error.
While this is easily fixed if the .Rd is further edited manually, I
stumbled over it using the automated .Rd generation with inlinedocs -
in this combination it is very inconvenient.
Any suggestions?
Add backtick = TRUE to the deparse() call in prompt.default().
All the best,
Claudia
