[R] The itemize command in *.Rd files.

[Rolf Turner]

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,
