Hi,
I find it cumbersomesome the I have to use \%*\% in .Rd files vs. %*% in
.R files. R CMD check will refuse %*% in .Rd files. I would like to have
%*% in .Rd files to be able to execute expressions with matrix
multiplication from .Rd files directly, but ESS (version 5.13) would
refuse to execute this execution.
What can be done here?
That sounds like a problem that ESS could solve. The rules for what
needs escaping in .Rd files are well defined, and ESS should know what
kind of file it is editing, so it should be fixable.
Allowing raw %*% in a .Rd code block would mean that invisible comments
were impossible (since Rd comments start with %). They are not
extremely common, but common enough that it would inconvenience a lot of
package writers to make that change. Seems like a small ESS fix is easier.
