c_Rd

Concatenate Rd objects or pieces


Description

Concatenates Rd objects or pieces

Usage

c_Rd(...)

Arguments

...

objects to be concatenated, Rd objects or character strings, see ‘Details’.

Details

The arguments may be a mixture of lists and character strings. The lists are typically "Rd" objects or pieces. The character strings may also be elements of "Rd" objects carrying "Rd_tag" attributes. The "Rd_tag" attribute of character strings for which it is missing is set to "TEXT". Finally, each character element of "\dots" is enclosed in list.

Eventually all arguments become lists and they are concatenated using c(). If any of the arguments is of class "Rd", the class of the result is set to "Rd". Otherwise, the "Rd_tag" of the result is set to the first (if any) non-null "Rd_tag" in the arguments.

The structure of "Rd" objects is described by Murdoch (2010).

Value

An Rd object or a list whose attribute "Rd_tag" is set as descibed in ‘Details’

Examples

a1 <- char2Rdpiece("Dummyname", "name")
a2 <- char2Rdpiece("Dummyallias1", "alias")
a3 <- char2Rdpiece("Dummy title", "title")
a4 <- char2Rdpiece("Dummy description", "description")

## The following are equivalent
## (gbRd::Rdo_empty() creates an empty list of class 'Rd')
if(requireNamespace("gbRd")){
b1 <- c_Rd(gbRd::Rdo_empty(), list(a1), list(a2), list(a3), list(a4))
c1 <- c_Rd(gbRd::Rdo_empty(), list(a1, a2, a3, a4))
d1 <- c_Rd(gbRd::Rdo_empty(), list(a1, a2), list(a3, a4))
identical(c1, b1)
identical(c1, d1)
Rdo_show(b1)

## insert a newline
d1n <- c_Rd(gbRd::Rdo_empty(), list(a1, a2), Rdo_newline(), list(a3, a4))
str(d1n)
}

## When most of the arguments are character strings
## the function 'list_Rd' may be more convenient.
u1 <- list_Rd(name = "Dummyname", alias = "Dummyallias1",
              title = "Dummy title", description = "Dummy description",
              Rd_class = TRUE )
Rdo_show(u1)
