[R-pkg-devel] Check Error Due to Unicode in Documentation

[biii m@iii@g oii de@@ey@ws]

Hello,

 

I have a personal package that I�d eventually like to clean up and either
find other packages to be homes for the functions or perhaps eventually
release it on CRAN.  To that end, I try to keep package checks working.

 

One of the functions that I use is to try to simplify Unicode text to ASCII.
With that, I tend to receive data that is scientifically-focused to the mu
character should be converted to a �u� instead of the standard conversion to
�m�.  On top of that, there are at least two Unicode characters that are
visually the mu character, one is the micro character and the other is an
actual lowercase mu.  This function converts both of those to �u� as
desired.

 

I generate the documentation using roxygen2, but the text in the
documentation aligns with the expected Unicode character, so I think the
issue is not with roxygen.

 

The issue is that Codoc gives the following error:

 

* checking for code/documentation mismatches ... WARNING

Codoc mismatches from documentation object 'unicode_to_ascii':

unicode_to_ascii.character

  Code: function(x, verbose = FALSE, pattern = c("μ", "µ"), replacement

                 = c("u", "u"), general_

 

But, the code and documentation appear to be the same.  I think that the
issue relates to something with Unicode support in Codoc, but I�m not sure
how to test for that.  The code is here:

 

https://github.com/billdenney/bsd.report/blob/454caf217c5b333af1d65c7e63bbad
4194320e07/R/unicode_to_ascii.R#L28-L31

 

And the documentation is here:

 

https://github.com/billdenney/bsd.report/blob/454caf217c5b333af1d65c7e63bbad
4194320e07/man/unicode_to_ascii.Rd#L17-L24

 

Do you have any suggestions on how to make this code/documentation work with
Codoc?

 

Thanks,

 

Bill
