Hi,
I’m getting -- many -- errors/warnings (both when uploading to
win-builder.r-project.org as well as locally):
* checking PDF version of manual ... WARNING
LaTeX errors when creating PDF version.
This typically indicates Rd problems.
LaTeX errors found:
! LaTeX Error: Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item.
...
* checking PDF version of manual without hyperrefs or index ... ERROR
* DONE
Status: 1 ERROR, 1 WARNING, 0 NOTE
All errors are generated in man-pages where I describe datasets of my
package.
Snippet causing the error (confirmed by my.package-manual.log,
my.package-manual.tex, Rdlatex.log):
You have \describe with no \item. That leads to illegal LaTeX.
Instead of
\describe{
bar
\tabular{ll}{
...
you should have
\describe{
\item{bar}{
\tabular{ll}{
...
}

Rd:
\format{
\itemize{
\item an item\cr
foo
\describe{
bar
\tabular{ll}{
\code{a} \tab a factor with x levels: 1, 2, \ldots, x\cr
\code{b} \tab a factor with 4 levels: 1, 2, 3, 4\cr
\code{c} \tab a numeric vector of responses
}
baz
\tabular{ll}{
\code{x} \tab x.x\%\cr
\code{y} \tab y.y\%
}
}
\item yet another item\cr
foo
\describe{
bar
\tabular{ll}{
\code{a} \tab a factor with x levels: 1, 2, \ldots, x\cr
\code{b} \tab a factor with 4 levels: 1, 2, 3, 4\cr

}
baz
\tabular{ll}{

\code{y} \tab y.y\%

Translated to:
\begin{Format}
\begin{itemize}
\item an item\\{}
foo
\begin{description}
bar
\Tabular{ll}{
\code{a} & a factor with x levels: 1, 2, \ldots, x\\{}
\code{b} & a factor with 4 levels: 1, 2, 3, 4\\{}
\code{c} & a numeric vector of responses{}
}
baz
\Tabular{ll}{
\code{x} & n.n\%\\{}
\code{y} & n.n\%
}
\end{description}
\item yet another item\\{}
foo
\begin{description}
bar
\Tabular{ll}{
\code{x} & a factor with x levels: 1, 2, \ldots, x\\{}
\code{y} & a factor with 4 levels: 1, 2, 3, 4\\{}
\code{z} & a numeric vector of responses
}
baz
\Tabular{ll}{
\code{x} & n.n\%\\{}
\code{y} & n.n\%
}
\end{description}
\end{itemize}
\end{Format}
Maybe I’m blind but (a) I think that the nesting is correct and (b) I
don’t see a missing item. BTW, translating the Rd to HTML in building
gives valid XHTML 1.0Strict -- as expected.
Cheers,
Helmut
