I have discovered a problem with script Rd2dvi for R-1.3.0 on our Solaris
machines.
When writing R CMD Rd2dvi Name_of_Package, then things go wrong with the
conversion to Latex of the DESCRIPTION file in the package.
Having discussed the problem with our system administrator, he constructed a
script illustrating the problem (see below: script a, and output b).
It seems that our Solaris machines makes a further expansion in the shell
scripts
than intended ( \\b -> \b -> <Backspace> ).
We have also tested the script on a SunOS 4.1.2 and a Debian/GNU Linux 2.0.36
machine, where everything worked fine.
script a:
#!/user/flemming/aa/sh
Rd_DESCRIPTION_to_LaTeX () {
echo '\\begin{description}'
echo "\\begin{description}"
echo "\\raggedright{}"
echo "\\end{description}"
}
touch b
Rd_DESCRIPTION_to_LaTeX >> b
------
output b:
\begin{description}
egin{description}
aggedright{}
\end{description}
