Format Rd fragments as macros, generally by putting them in a list and setting the "Rd_tag" as needed.

Usage

Rdo_macro(x, name)

Rdo_macro1(x, name)

Rdo_macro2(x, y, name)

Rdo_item(x, y)

Rdo_sigitem(x, y, newline = TRUE)

Arguments

x

an object.

y

an object.

name

the "Rd_tag", a string.

newline

currently ignored.

Details

Rdo_macro1 wraps x in a list with "Rd_tag" name. This is the representation of Rd macros with one argument.

Rdo_macro2 basically wraps a possibly transformed x and y in a list with "Rd_tag" name. More specifically, if x has a non-NULL "Rd_tag", x is wrapped in list. Otherwise x is left as is, unless x is a character string, when it is converted to a text Rd element and wrapped in list. y is processed in the same way. This is the representation of Rd macros with two arguments.

Rdo_macro returns an object with "Rd_tag" name, constructed as follows. If x is not of class "character", its attribute "Rd_tag" is set to name and the result returned without further processing. Otherwise, if it is of class "character", x is tagged as an Rd "TEXT" element. It is then wrapped in a list but only if name is one of "\eqn" or "\deqn". Finally, Rdo_macro1 is called on the transformed object.

Rdo_item is equivalent to Rdo_macro2 with name set to "\item".

Rdo_sigitem is for items which have the syntax used in description of signatures. In that case the first argument of "\item" is wrapped in "\code". If y is missing, a text inviting the author to provide a description of the function for this signature is inserted.

Value

An Rd element with appropriately set Rd_tag, as described in `Details'.
