The addition of a single line: at in the of the R HTML generated manuals would make them much easier to read on mobile devices. texi2any (which generates the HTML files) is based on long-working Perl code that includes many modern HTML elements but does not include this one. A Perl one-

You're then asking CRAN to violate your "ideal contract" w/r/t compiler switching inside src/Makevars since CRAN needs to setup and produce standard, predictable, repeatable builds, including binary generation for two platforms (much to Dirk's chagrin, there _are_ other operating systems besides De

It's the top of chain CA cert, so browsers are being lazy and helpful to humans by (incorrectly, albeit) relying on the existing trust relationship. libcurl (et al) is not nearly as forgiving. On Sat, May 30, 2020 at 5:01 PM peter dalgaard wrote: > > Odd. Safari has no problem and says certifica
