I notice that there are windows-style newlines, even though I compiled HEAD from scratch in Cygwin; and running `R CMD Rd2txt <file.Rd>' produces the same defective output, so I'm not sure it's an ESS problem. My hypothesis was that Rd2txt is invoking some defective system command; but it appears to do all of its parsing and output itself. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
