Hello:


      I've found structures like "normal-bracket50bracket-normal" in
help files for R packages including the following:

           * "mergeprepare" and "mergematrices" in a document dated
March 3, 2004 by Richard Mott;  the second contains
"normal-bracket30bracket-normal".

           * "Fperm.fd" and "tperm.fd" in the "fda" package;  these help 
pages were written primarily by Giles Hooker.

           * "compareDerivatives" in the "maxLik" package;  this help 
page was written by Ott Toomet and me.


      What can we do to eliminate this nonsense comment?

      Constructs like this seem to be generated in perl code used in "R
CMD" processing
(https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/share/perl/R/Rdconv.pm).

      Thanks,
      Spencer Graves
