[R-pkg-devel] Troubleshoot unknown macro '\backslashemph' warning

[Georgi Boshnakov]

This is probably from Rdpack (actually, 'rbibutils', see below). Several references in your REFERENCES.bib contain \emph In 'title' fields. The backslash in \emph is converted to \backslash, resulting in \backslashemph. 

This looks like a bug, please open an issue on github (for Rdpack or rbibutils).

Hi,

While checking two of my packages
(https://github.com/aravind-j/EvaluateCore and https://github.com/aravind-j/augmentedRCBD)with winbuilder while preparing for submitting an updated version, I am getting the following warning.


* checking Rd files ... [4s] WARNING
prepare_Rd: <connection>:2: unknown macro '\backslashemph'
prepare_Rd: <connection>:6: unknown macro '\backslashemph'
prepare_Rd: <connection>:2: unknown macro '\backslashemph'
prepare_Rd: <connection>:4: unknown macro '\backslashemph

I am not able to find the offending macros anywhere in the Rd files being generated. I am using two RdMacros, mathjaxr and Rdpack.

How to troubleshoot?
