Apply a function over an Rd object

Apply a function recursively over an Rd object, similarly to rapply but keeping attributes.

Usage

Rdapply(x, ...)

Rdtagapply(object, FUN, rdtag, classes = "character", how = "replace",
           ...)

rattr(x, y)

Arguments

x: the Rd object on which to apply a function.
object: the Rd object on which to apply a function.
FUN: The function to apply, see details
rdtag: apply FUN only to elements whose Rd_tag attribute is rdtag.
y: an Rd object with the same structure as x, see `Details'.
...: arguments to pass to rapply, see `Details'.
classes: a character vector, passed on to rapply, see `Details'.
how: a character string, passed on to rapply, see `Details'.

Details

Rdapply works like rapply but preserves the attributes of x and (recursively) any sublists of it. Rdapply first calls rapply, passing all arguments to it. Then it restores recursively the attributes by calling rattr.

Note that the object returned by rapply is assumed to have identical structure to the original object. This means that argument how of rapply must not be "unlist" and normally will be "replace". Rdtagapply gives sensible default values for classes and how. See the documentation of rapply for details and the possible choices for classes, how or other arguments passed to it via "\dots".

Rdtagapply is a convenience variant of Rdapply for the common task of modifying or examining only elements with a given Rd_tag attribute. Since the Rd equation macros \eqn and \deqn are assigned Rd tag "VERB" but are processed differently from other "VERB" pieces, pseudo-tags "mathVERB" and "nonmathVERB" are provided, such that "mathVERB" is for actions on the first argument of the mathematical macros \eqn and \deqn, while "nonmathVERB" is for actions on "VERB" macros in all other contexts. There is also a pseudo-tag "nonmath" for anything that is not math.

rattr is an auxilliary function which takes two Rd objects (with identical structure) and recursively examines them. It makes the attributes of any lists in the first argument identical to the corresponding attributes in the second.

Value

For Rdapply and Rdtagapply, an Rd object with some of its leaves replaced as specified above.

For rattr, the object x with attributes of any list elements of it set to the corresponding attributes of y.

Note

todo: may be it is better to rename the argument FUN of Rdtagapply to f, which is its name in rapply.

Examples

# create an Rd object for the sake of example
u1 <- list_Rd(name = "Dummyname", alias = "dummyfun",
              title = "Dummy title", description = "Dummy description",
              usage = "dummyfun(x)",
              value = "numeric vector",
              author = "A. Author",
              examples = "\na <- matrix(1:6,nrow=2)\na %*% t(a)\nt(a) %*% a",
              Rd_class=TRUE )

# correct R code for examples but wrong for saving in Rd files
Rdo_show(u1)

# escape percents everywhere except in comments
#  (actually, .anypercent escapes only unescaped percents)
rdo <- Rdapply(u1, Rdpack:::.anypercent, classes = "character", how = "replace")

# syntactically wrong R code for examples but ok for saving in Rd files
Rdo_show(rdo)


# Rdo2Rdf does this by default for examples and other R code,
#   so code can be kept syntactically correct while processing.
#   (reprompt() takes care of this too as it uses Rdo2Rdf for saving)

fn <- tempfile("u1", fileext="Rd")
Rdo2Rdf(u1, file = fn)
#> 	The Rd content was written to file  /tmp/RtmpAbqnOr/u118a927016edRd 

# the saved file contains escaped percents but they disappear in parsing:
file.show(fn)
Rdo_show(tools::parse_Rd(fn))

# if you think that sections should start on new lines,
# the following makes the file a little more human-friendly
#   (by inserting new lines).
# todo: additional arg. for list_Rd for this?

u2 <- Rdpack:::.Rd_tidy(u1)
Rdo2Rdf(u2, file = fn)
#> 	The Rd content was written to file  /tmp/RtmpAbqnOr/u118a927016edRd 
file.show(fn)

unlink(fn)
