Thank you! So, based on this link: https://r-pkgs.org/description.html#:~:text=to%20be%20indented%3A-,Description,-%3A%20The%20description <https://r-pkgs.org/description.html#:~:text=to%20be%20indented%3A-,Description,-%3A%20The%20descriptio> I thought I had to add indentations...
So, I originally sent: ``` Description: Access and manipulate data from the Neotoma Paleoecology Database. <https://api.neotomadb.org/api-docs/> ``` I was requested to add <https://..> referencing the "Neotoma Paleoecology Database". With the Description above, I do not get any local errors when running the R CMD but can rejects it and gives me this error: If I do this: ``` Description: Access and manipulate data from the Neotoma Paleoecology Database. <https://api.neotomadb.org/api-docs/> ``` and run the R CMD, I get the following message: ``` Unknown, possibly mis-spelled, fields in DESCRIPTION: ‘<https’ ``` (however, it is not an error) I see that I have to write complete sentences, so I have done the following: ``` Description: Access and manipulation of data using the Neotoma Paleoecology Database. <https://api.neotomadb.org/api-docs/> ``` I would llike to know if this is correct prior to submitting again. Or know how should I place that <https...> tag Thank you for all your help.
