[R-pkg-devel] confusion over spellchecking

[Diego Hernangómez Herrero]

As per 'The DESCRIPTION file'[1]:


As with the ‘Title’ field, double quotes should be used for quotations
(including titles of books and articles), and single quotes for non-English
usage, including names of other packages and external software.


Enclose that words in single quote, it should work.

[1] Writing R Extensions

Have a nice day!
