I'm getting an anomalous result from using the itemize command in a  
documentation
file.  My usage is something like

\itemize{
\item Melvin
\item Irving
\item Clyde
\item Fred
}

(This was place inside ``\details{   }''.)

(Previously I had enclosed the text following each item in braces but  
that gave
even worse results.)

The package appears to install OK; i.e. the  command

        R CMD INSTALL foo

runs without complaint.  But when I start R, load package ``foo'' and  
ask
for help on the object whose *.Rd file contains the itemize command I  
get a
string ``.in +3'' at the point where the \itemize command was placed.

I have found one message (dated 9 Aug 2006) from Christian Hennig  
describing
problems with \itemize but there appear to have been no responses to his
posting.

Can anybody suggest how one might fix the anomaly?

                cheers,

                        Rolf Turner
