[R-pkg-devel] Encoding problem

[Thierry Onkelinx]

Dear David,

Have you tried removing the exclamation mark in %!\VignetteEncoding{UTF-8}?
I think it should be %\VignetteEncoding{UTF-8}

Best regards,

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more
than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to say
what the experiment died of. ~ Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher
The plural of anecdote is not data. ~ Roger Brinner
The combination of some data and an aching desire for an answer does not
ensure that a reasonable answer can be extracted from a given body of data.
~ John Tukey
