[R] \preformatted and $

[Arend P. van der Veen]

Hi,

I have been developing a package in R and have been working on
documentation.  I have a \details function that contains the following:

\details{

some text

\preformatted{
[my-section]
user = apv
host = 127.0.0.1
}

}

 When I run R CMD check I get an error while checking the manual.  If I
remove:

\preformatted{
[my-section]
user = apv
host = 127.0.0.1
}

and replace it with 

[my-section]
user = apv
host = 127.0.0.1

the error goes away.

Has anybody had this problem?  

I have also have a problem including a '$' in my documentation.  I
replace them with \$ which made latex happy but then \$ showed up in the
HTML and R help.

Any advice would be appreciated,
Arend van der Veen
