Hi
I am having difficulties documenting an infix function:
paste.infix.r
"%&%" <- function(x,y) { paste(x,y,sep="") }
paste.infix.Rd
\name{pasteInfix}
# I wanted to write \name{"\%\&\%"} or some variation of it, but &, %
not allowed in LaTeX, see Guide.
\alias{pasteInfix}
\title{Paste(infix)}
\description{
Paste as infix
}
\usage{
a %&% b # or \%&\%
# this results in:
* checking Rd files ... OK
* checking for missing documentation entries ... WARNING
Undocumented code objects:
%&%
All user-level objects in a package should have documentation entries.
See chapter 'Writing R documentation files' in manual 'Writing R
Extensions'.
* checking Rd \usage sections ... WARNING
Objects in \usage without \alias in documentation object 'pasteInfix':
%&%
}
\arguments{
\item{a}{character (1-dim)}
\item{b}{character (1-dim)}
}
\value{
The concatenation of \code{a} and \code{b}, same as \code{ paste(a, b,
sep="") }
}
\examples{
"I am" \%&\% " hungry" # [1] "I am hungry"
}

Does there exist a solution to this problem?
