1. I often like to put bits of the output into the manual pages. (We can
have a discussion of the value of this elsewhere -- I think it is sometimes
a good thing.)
In R I need to surround these with \dontrun{} for the sake of the tester,
which is fine. But the printed output contains
## Not run
and
## End (not run)
comments, which defeats the purpose of the lines by breaking them off from
the their context. How do I turn these off? For printing \dontrun should
be a no-op. Or at least I should have the option of making it so -- I'm rather
opinionated about the format of things I prepare for teaching purposes.
You can assume medium Tex skills in answering; my book is in Latex but I
don't create my own formats.
2. In the pdf for the survival package, or at least the one generated by R CMD
check, the entries are in a random order. Can I fix this? It makes reading
the document to look for errors rather challenging. (That is, when I'm
looking at a particular Rd file, and want to see what it turned out to be.)
