[Env: R 2.15.1, Win Xp]
Suggestion:
Could the R script that checks for non-ASCII characters in R CMD check
not give either:
(a) a pointer to tools:::showNonASCIIfile, as in,
try running tools:::showNonASCIIfile("Battig.Rd")
or,
(b) perhaps more useful, the result of tools:::showNonASCIIfile(file.Rd)
on the offending file(s).
I'm frequently bitten by this in preparing .Rd files when I copy/paste
references to the
.Rd from a .pdf or web link. But it is nearly impossible to see these
variant characters
in my .Rd files with any editor.
This recent example was solved by
> tools:::showNonASCIIfile("Battig.Rd")
47: \emph{Journal of Experimental Psychology}, 80 (1969), pp. 1<96>46
but I had to find this function again via ??ascii because it is not
exported.
