[Rd] Potential bug in utils::citation()

[Zhian Kamvar]

Hi,

I believe the function utils::citation() will fail if the package specified has 
two or more citation entries in the current R-devel. The following error is 
issued:

'missing' can only be used for arguments 

I have created a working example on github [0] that is build using R-devel on 
travis-ci [1]. Jim Hester has potentially identified [2] the source of the 
problem as being from a commit on the 27th [3, 4]. I do not have R-devel built 
on my machine, but I believe this error can be reproduced on the current 
R-devel with:

if (require("boot") & require("utils")) utils::citation("boot")

Background:

My package poppr suddenly started failing check on R-devel during a weekly 
travis-ci job [5] due to the error above. Another package of mine, ezec, passed 
[6]. Both contain calls to utils::citation() within the vignettes, but  poppr 
has two citations and ezec only has one (called from another package).

Thanks,
Zhian

Re: [Rd] Creating a private CRAN with webpages

Hi Josh,

If you aren't opposed to using bootstrap, you could check out pkgdown:

HTH,
