[Rd] returnValue()
In R devel rev.66393 (2014-08-15) it was possible to do this: trace(optim, exit = quote(str(returnValue( but returnValue() does not seem to be available any more. The above was useful to get the output of a function when it was called deep within another function that I have no control over. Has this been replaced by some other equivalent function? P.S. This demonstrates that it no longer works. The error message is that it cannot find function 'returnValue`: > trace(optim, exit = quote(str(returnValue( Tracing function "optim" in package "stats" [1] "optim" > arima(presidents, order = c(1, 0, 0)) Tracing optim(init[mask], armafn, method = optim.method, hessian = TRUE, on exit Error in str(returnValue()) : could not find function "returnValue" -- Statistics & Software Consulting GKX Group, GKX Associates Inc. tel: 1-877-GKX-GROUP email: ggrothendieck at gmail.com __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
Re: [Rd] returnValue()
Please disregard. I was running an older version of R at the time. In R version 3.2.0 Patched (2015-04-19 r68205) returnValue() does work.

[Rd] NEWS.md support on CRAN
Are there any plans for CRAN to support NEWS files in markdown? Bit of a hassle to go the the package’s Github (or other like) site to read NEWS. __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel

Not as far as I know. There have been discussions about increasing the support of Markdown, but so far the conclusion has been that it's too hard to do -- the support is not stable enough on all the platforms where R runs. Markdown is allowed for vignettes (because the package author processes those), so I'd suggest putting your news into a vignette instead of a news file. Put in a token news file that points to the vignette so users can find it. Duncan Murdoch __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
Re: [Rd] NEWS.md support on CRAN
What about treating it as a plain text file (i.e. no need for CRAN to support parsing)? > On 23 May 2015, at 11:08 am, Duncan Murdoch wrote: > > On 22/05/2015 8:49 PM, Imanuel Costigan wrote: >> Are there any plans for CRAN to support NEWS files in markdown?

Re: [Rd] NEWS.md support on CRAN
What I do is to use inst/NEWS.Rd as a placeholder that points to the NEWS.md on Github, e.g. http://cran.rstudio.com/web/packages/knitr/index.html Regards, Yihui -- Yihui Xie Web: http://yihui.name On Fri, May 22, 2015 at 8:08 PM, Duncan Murdoch wrote: > On 22/05/2015 8:49 PM, Imanuel Costigan wrote: >> Are there any plans for CRAN to support NEWS files in markdown?
