[Rd] help pages base R not rendered correctly?

2017-05-23 Thread Joris Meys
Hi all, Don't know if this is a known issue, but I couldn't find anything so I report anyway. When checking eg ?qr in both RStudio and the naked R IDE, the help page is rendered incorrectly. More specifically, any use of \bold{...} is printed as is, rather than interpreted as bold. Same happens on

Hi Duncan, that explains, thank you. If nobody finds the time to fix that, I might give it a shot myself this summer. Barbeque is overrated. Cheers Joris On Tue, May 23, 2017 at 3:10 PM, Duncan Murdoch wrote: > On 23/05/2017 8:39 AM, Joris Meys wrote: > >> Hi all, >> >> Don't know if this is a

Re: [Rd] Inconsistency in handling of numeric input with %d by sprintf

2017-05-23 Thread Evan Cortens
Hi Michael, I posted something on this topic to R-devel several weeks ago, but never got a response. My ultimate conclusion is that sprintf() isn't super consistent in how it handles coercion: sometimes it'll coerce real to integer without complaint, other times it won't. (My particular email had

Hi Duncan, Would you merge this patch? I'm planning on sending larger patches in the next few days that fix other macros I've seen, but I figured​ it'd be best to start with a smaller patch. Thanks, Sahil __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://

Re: [Rd] Inconsistency in handling of numeric input with %d by sprintf

2017-05-23 Thread Joris Meys
I initially thought this is "documented behaviour". ?sprintf says: Numeric variables with __exactly integer__ values will be coerced to integer. (emphasis mine). Turns out this only works when the first value is numeric and not NA, as shown by the following example: > sprintf("%d", as.numeric(c(

Re: [Rd] Inconsistency in handling of numeric input with %d by sprintf

2017-05-23 Thread Michael Chirico
Astute observation. And of course we should be passing integer when we use %d. It's an edge case in how we printed ITime objects in data.table: On Tue, May 23, 2017 at 11:53 AM, Joris Meys wrote: > I initially thought this is "documented behaviour". ?sprintf says: > > Numeric variables with __e

https://github.com/Rdatatable/data.table/issues/2171 The fix was easy, it's just surprising to see the behavior change almost on a whim. Just wanted to point it out in case this is unknown behavior, but Evan seems to have found this as well. On Tue, May 23, 2017 at 12:00 PM, Michael Chirico wrot

Re: [Rd] Inconsistency in handling of numeric input with %d by sprintf

2017-05-23 Thread Evan Cortens
Yes, what Joris posts about is exactly what I noted in my March 9th post to R-devel. The behaviour is sort of documented, but not in the clearest manner (in my opinion). Like I say, my ultimate conclusion was that the silent coercion of numerics to integers by sprintf() was a handy convenience, but

[Rd] Allow dot in RHS of update.formula's old formula
