Apologies, I missed Ivan's fix to the problem (my day was too long...)
which is, of course, better than mine.

Thierry,
thanks for this, this is a bug in utils:::.format_person_as_R_code(). This
calls deparse() on the elements of the person object with the default
width.cutoff = 60. As your comment exceeds this width, the erroneous
formatting is produced. The simplest reproducible example I could come up
with was:
p <- person(".", comment = c(foo = ".....................",
bar = "....................."))
writeLines(format(p, style = "R"))
This can be fixed in line 1017 of utils/R/citation.R either by increasing the
width.cutoff, e.g.,
sprintf("%s = %s", names(e), sapply(e, deparse, width.cutoff = 500L))
but, of course, this still has an arbitrary cutoff. So maybe better
sprintf("%s = %s", names(e), sapply(e,
function(x) paste(deparse(x), collapse = "")))
which should work.
I'll ping Kurt about this and try to coordinate a fix.
Best wishes,
Achim

Dear all,
I think I found a bug in utils::format.person when using style = "R" with a
vector of comments. The comment section is not parsed properly. Please find
below the mwe and the session info.
Best regards,
Thierry
