Hi,
When using Rdconv to convert R documentation to S-PLUS SGML documentation,
the \name{} is converted to <s-topic> but the \alias{}es are not. Below is a
(crude) patch to fix this problem:
Compare: (<)D:\Apps\R\R-1.8.0\share\perl\R\Rdconv.pm.orig (88302 bytes)
with: (>)D:\Apps\R\R-1.8.0\share\perl\R\Rdconv.pm (88481 bytes)

< $retval .= "<s-topics>\n
<s-topic>".$name."</s-topic>\n</s-topics>\n\n";

> $retval .= " <s-topic>" . $alias . "</s-topic>\n";
> }
> $retval .= "</s-topics>\n\n";

Note, this relies on the global variable @aliases. Perhaps this code should
be modified so that @aliases is passed into the Ssgm_functionhead function
as an argument.
I have not tested this extensively but it seems to work on the few small
tests I have done.
For the record I am using:
platform i386-pc-mingw32
arch i386
os mingw32
system i386, mingw32
status
major 1
minor 8.0
year 2003
month 10
day 08
language R
Cheers,
Tim Keighley
