In re-factoring my optimx package, I'm finding that the pdf output has some
lines that are
outside the margins (and there are warnings in R CMD check optimx). Clearly I
can fix this
by editing the tex file that is generated, but the build infrastructure would
still get
things wrong in automatic processing. So that gives rise to 3 questions:
1) How do I adjust the DESCRIPTION file to avoid too long a line (optimx uses a
lot of
other packages). I can add \cr elements to the Rd files to control those lines,
but
DESCRIPTION doesn't allow this.
Wrap lines? And is this R 2.14.0, as the issues are easier with
the fonts used there?
2) Is there an option control that does the job? I've not found one
in searching, but could easily have chosen poor search terms.
R has ways to reformat description files. See ?write.dcf.
3) To avoid running the whole of R CMD check to rebuild the manual,
do I need to dig into R CMD check to find the bits that just build
the manual, or is there an option to Rd2pdf to do this? I've found
how to process a list of files with Rd2pdf, but need to add the
DESCRIPTION stuff.
R CMD R2pdf on a package source directory is what R CMD check uses.
