Subject: [Rd] help pages base R not rendered correctly?
Message-ID: <CAO1zAVb=qu8_tyS0wd3Eq=xzrQePUy3Uc1u2z+16sLJgzkuS8Q@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

Don't know if this is a known issue, but I couldn't find anything so I
report anyway. When checking eg ?qr in both RStudio and the naked R IDE,
the help page is rendered incorrectly. More specifically, any use of
\bold{...} is printed as is, rather than interpreted as bold. Same happens
on ?svd.

According to the manual Writing R Extensions, this should still be
recognized. When I try to use it in the help pages of my own packages,
\bold{} is interpreted correctly.

No idea what is going wrong and it's not that important, but I found it
curious enough to report.

Cheers
Joris
