[R-pkg-devel] Tool for advanced man/doc page check?

[Ghislain Durif]

Hi again,

Thanks for the responses!

@Jan van der Laan our package is unix-only so I did no try to check it 
with winbuilder.

@Etienne Bacher `checkhelper::find_missing_tags()` does actually find 
some issue, even running with the release version of R.

@Duncan Murdoch I was indeed running the check with the release version 
of R, I'll check with the development version.

Thanks again,

Best regards,

Ghislain Durif
