Hello:
I tried "debug(help)" with the problem mentioned below. It
stopped with a call to "library", from which I generate the following
simple replication of this error:
> library(help = 'fda', character.only = TRUE)
Error in formatDL(nm, txt, indent = max(nchar(nm, "w")) + 3) :
incorrect values of 'indent' and 'width'
This was using R 3.3.3 inside RStudio on a Mac, as noted below.
This same "library(help='fda', character.only=TRUE)" ran fine using R
Console 3.2.1 under Windows 7.
I also tried debug(library). It died in line 298:
for (i in which(file.exists(docFiles))) pkgInfo[[i]] <-
readDocFile(docFiles[i])
with i = 1 and docFiles[i] =
"/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.3/Resources/library/fda/Meta/package.rds".
This looks like a bug to me. I don't know if it's new since R
3.2.1 or it works fine under Windows 7 but not a Mac.
Thanks,
Spencer Graves
*** NOTES:
1. When I tried "Q" to exit debug mode, I got, "Error retrieving
help: R code execution error." This suggests a bug in "debug", which
could be replicated by trying debug(help) with "help(package='fda',
help_type='text')". It does not want to exit from "help" using "Q".
"c" also fails.
2. For sessionInfo(), see below.

I have this wrapped inside "try" in PackageSum2{sos}, so it
doesn't die, but it also doesn't give me the additional information I
want from help(..., help_type='text')
Is this a bug?
