Hi,

The Writing R Packages manual is the main documentation, specifically:
https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-exts.html#The-DESCRIPTION-file

As for indentation, don't. Just use a newline.

I don't know of any templates, but the source code for many/most
packages is on RForge and/or github, so you can look at as many
DESCRIPTION files as you'd like to find the solutions you need.

If that doesn't help, then please share actual examples of what isn't
working in your file.

Sarah
