[R-pkg-devel] Fwd: R CMD check and strange ## Not run strings

[Georgi Boshnakov]

Sure, but \dontrun's function is to prevent the R tools from running the enclosed code.

How it is rendered is a completely separate matter.  The code in \dontrun is  not required to be executable (or even valid R code), so surely there should be some sort of visual clue in the rendered page. I don't argue whether it should be the one shown now or should be left entirely to the package author, although the current one seems reasonable to me.

This is unrelated to roxygen. \dontrun{} is Rd formatting.
