-\section{Introduction}
-
-\pkg{Rcpp}~\citep{CRAN:Rcpp,JSS:Rcpp} is an extension package for \proglang{R} which
-offers an easy-to-use yet featureful interface between \proglang{C++} and
-\proglang{R}.  However, it is somewhat different from a traditional
-\proglang{R} package because its key component is a \proglang{C++} library. A
-client package that wants to make use of the \pkg{Rcpp} features must link
-against the library provided by \pkg{Rcpp}.
-
-It should be noted that \proglang{R} has only limited support for
-\proglang{C(++)}-level dependencies between packages~\citep{R:Extensions}. The
-\texttt{LinkingTo} declaration in the package \texttt{DESCRIPTION} file
-allows the client package to retrieve the headers of the target package (here
-\pkg{Rcpp}), but support for linking against a library is not provided by
-\proglang{R} and has to be added manually.
-
-This document follows the steps of the \Sexpr{link("Rcpp.package.skeleton")}
-function to illustrate a recommended way of using \pkg{Rcpp} from a client
-package. We illustrate this using a simple \proglang{C++} function
-which will be called by an \proglang{R} function.
-
-We strongly encourage the reader to become familiar with the material in the
-\textsl{Writing R Extensions} manual~\citep{R:Extensions}, as well as with other
-documents on \proglang{R} package creation such as \cite{Leisch:2008:Tutorial}. Given
-a basic understanding of how to create \proglang{R} package, the present
-document aims to provide the additional information on how to use \pkg{Rcpp}
-in such add-on packages.
-
-\section{Using \texttt{Rcpp.package.skeleton}}
-
-\subsection{Overview}
-
-\pkg{Rcpp} provides a function \Sexpr{link("Rcpp.package.skeleton")}, modeled
-after the base \proglang{R} function \Sexpr{link("package.skeleton")}, which
-facilitates creation of a skeleton package using \pkg{Rcpp}.
-
-\Sexpr{link("Rcpp.package.skeleton")} has a number of arguments documented on
-its help page (and similar to those of \Sexpr{link("package.skeleton")}). The
-main argument is the first one which provides the name of the package one
-aims to create by invoking the function.  An illustration of a call using an
-argument \texttt{mypackage} is provided below.

-
-Using \Sexpr{link("Rcpp.package.skeleton")} is by far the simplest approach
-as it fulfills two roles. It creates the complete set of files needed for a
-package, and it also includes the different components needed for using
-\pkg{Rcpp} that we discuss in the following sections.
-
-\subsection{\proglang{R} code}
-
-The skeleton contains an example \proglang{R} function
-\texttt{rcpp\_hello\_world} that uses the \Sexpr{link(".Call")} interface to
-invoke the \proglang{C++} function \texttt{rcpp\_hello\_world} from the
-package \texttt{mypackage}.
-
-<<echo=FALSE,results=tex>>=
-highlight(
-    file.path( gendir, "mypackage", "R", "rcpp_hello_world.R" ),
-    renderer = renderer_latex( doc = FALSE )
-    )
-@
-
-\pkg{Rcpp} uses the \Sexpr{link(".Call")} calling convention as it allows
-transport of actual \proglang{R} objects back and forth between the
-\proglang{R} side and the \proglang{C++} side. \proglang{R} objects
-(\texttt{SEXP}) can be conveniently manipulated using the \pkg{Rcpp} API.
-
-Note that in this example, no arguments were passed from \proglang{R} down to
-the \proglang{C++} layer.  Doing so is straightforward (and one of the key
-features of \pkg{Rcpp}) but not central to our discussion of the package
-creation mechanics.
-
-\subsection{\proglang{C++} code}
-
-The \proglang{C++} function is declared in the \texttt{rcpp\_hello\_world.h}
-header file:
-
-<<echo=FALSE,results=tex>>=
-external_highlight(
-    file.path( gendir, "mypackage", "src", "rcpp_hello_world.h" ),
-    type = "LATEX",
-    doc = FALSE
-    )
-@
-
-The header includes the \texttt{Rcpp.h} file, which is the only file that
-needs to be included to use \pkg{Rcpp}. The function is then implemented in
-the \texttt{rcpp\_hello\_world.cpp} file
-
-<<echo=FALSE,results=tex>>=
-external_highlight(
-    file.path( gendir, "mypackage", "src", "rcpp_hello_world.cpp" ),
-    type = "LATEX",
-    doc = FALSE
-)
-@
-
-The function creates an \proglang{R} list that contains a
-\Sexpr{link("character")} vector and a \Sexpr{link("numeric")} vector using \pkg{Rcpp}
-classes. At the \proglang{R} level, we will therefore receive a list of
-length two containing these two vectors:
-
-<<>>=
-rcpp_hello_world( )
-@
-
-\subsection{\texttt{DESCRIPTION}}
-
-The skeleton generates an appropriate \texttt{DESCRIPTION} file, using
-both \texttt{Depends:} and \texttt{LinkingTo} for \pkg{Rcpp}:
-
-<<echo=FALSE,results=tex>>=
-local({
-	tf <- sprintf( "%s.make", tempfile() )
-	file.copy( file.path( gendir, "mypackage", "DESCRIPTION" ), tf )
-	external_highlight( tf, type = "LATEX", doc = FALSE )
-	unlink( tf )
-})
-@
-
-\Sexpr{link("Rcpp.package.skeleton")} adds the three last lines to the
-\texttt{DESCRIPTION} file generated by \Sexpr{link("package.skeleton")}.
-
-The \texttt{Depends} declaration indicates \proglang{R}-level dependency
-between the client package and \pkg{Rcpp}. The \texttt{LinkingTo} declaration
-indicates that the client package needs to use header files exposed by
-\pkg{Rcpp}.
-
-\subsection{\texttt{Makevars} and \texttt{Makevars.win}}
-
-Unfortunately, the \texttt{LinkingTo} declaration in itself is not
-enough to link to the user \proglang{C++} library of \pkg{Rcpp}. Until more
-explicit support for libraries is added to \proglang{R}, we need to manually
-add the \pkg{Rcpp} library to the \texttt{PKG\_LIBS} variable in the
-\texttt{Makevars} and \texttt{Makevars.win} files. \pkg{Rcpp} provides the
-unexported function \texttt{Rcpp:::LdFlags()} to ease the process:
-
-<<echo=FALSE,results=tex>>=
-local({
-	tf <- sprintf( "%s.make", tempfile() )
-	file.copy( file.path( gendir, "mypackage", "src", "Makevars" ), tf )
-	external_highlight( tf, type = "LATEX", doc = FALSE )
-	unlink( tf )
-})
-@
-
-The \texttt{Makevars.win} is the equivalent, targeting windows.
-
-<<echo=FALSE,results=tex>>=
-local({
-	tf <- sprintf( "%s.make", tempfile() )
-	file.copy( file.path( gendir, "mypackage", "src", "Makevars.win" ), tf )
-	external_highlight( tf, type = "LATEX", doc = FALSE )
-	unlink( tf )
-})
-@
-
-\subsection{\texttt{NAMESPACE}}
-
-The \Sexpr{link("Rcpp.package.skeleton")} function also creates a file
-\texttt{NAMESPACE}.
-
-<<echo=FALSE,results=tex>>=
-local({
-	tf <- sprintf( "%s.make", tempfile() )
-	file.copy( file.path( gendir, "mypackage", "NAMESPACE" ), tf )
-	external_highlight( tf, type = "LATEX", doc = FALSE )
-	unlink( tf )
-})
-@
-
-This file serves two purposes. First, it ensure that the dynamic library
-contained in the package we are creating via
-\Sexpr{link("Rcpp.package.skeleton")} will be loaded and thereby made
-available to the newly created \proglang{R} package. Second, it declares
-which functions should be globally visible from the namespace of this
-package.  As a reasonable default, we export all functions.
-
-\subsection{Help files}
-
-Also created is a directory \texttt{man} containing two help files. One is
-for the package itself, the other for the (single) \proglang{R} function
-being provided and exported.
-
-The \textsl{Writing R Extensions} manual~\citep{R:Extensions} provides the complete
-documentation on how to create suitable content for help files.
-
-\subsubsection{\texttt{mypackage-package.Rd}}
-
-The help file \texttt{mypackage-package.Rd} can be used to describe
-the new package.
-
-<<echo=FALSE,results=tex>>=
-local({
-	tf <- sprintf( "%s.make", tempfile() )
-	file.copy( file.path( gendir, "mypackage", "man", "mypackage-package.Rd" ), tf )
-	external_highlight( tf, type = "LATEX", doc = FALSE )
-	unlink( tf )
-})
-@
-
-
-\subsubsection{\texttt{rcpp\_hello\_world.Rd}}
-
-The help file \texttt{rcpp\_hello\_world.Rd} serves as documentation for the
-example \proglang{R} function.
-
-<<echo=FALSE,results=tex>>=
-local({
-	tf <- sprintf( "%s.make", tempfile() )
-	file.copy( file.path( gendir, "mypackage", "man", "rcpp_hello_world.Rd" ), tf )
-	external_highlight( tf, type = "LATEX", doc = FALSE )
-	unlink( tf )
-})
-@
-
-
-\section{Further examples}
-
-The canonical example of a package that uses \pkg{Rcpp} is the
-\pkg{RcppExamples} \citep{CRAN:RcppExamples} package. \pkg{RcppExamples}
-contains various examples of using \pkg{Rcpp} using both the extended
-(``new'') API and the older (``classic'') API.  Hence, the \pkg{RcppExamples}
-package is provided as a template for employing \pkg{Rcpp} in packages.
-
-Other CRAN packages using the \pkg{Rcpp} package are \pkg{RcppArmadillo}
-\citep{CRAN:RcppArmadillo}, \pkg{highlight} \citep{CRAN:highlight},
-and \pkg{minqa} \citep{CRAN:minqa} all of which follow precisely the guidelines
-of this document. Several other packages follow older (but still supported
-and appropriate) instructions. They can serve examples on how to get data to
-and from \proglang{C++} routines, but should not be considered templates for
-how to connect to \pkg{Rcpp}. The full list of packages using \pkg{Rcpp} can
-be found at the \href{http://CRAN.R-project.org/package=Rcpp}{CRAN page} of
-\pkg{Rcpp}.
-
-\section{Other compilers}
-
-Less experienced \proglang{R} users on the Windows platform frequently ask
-about using \pkg{Rcpp} with the Visual Studio toolchain.  That is simply not
-possible as \proglang{R} is built with the \pkg{gcc} compiler. Different
-compilers have different linking conventions. These conventions are
-particularly hairy when it comes to using \proglang{C++}.  In short, it is
-not possible to simply drop sources (or header files) from \pkg{Rcpp} into a
-\proglang{C++} project built with Visual Studio, and this note makes no
-attempt at claiming otherwise.
-
-\pkg{Rcpp} is fully usable on Windows provided the standard Windows
-toolchain for \proglang{R} is used. See the \textsl{Writing R Extensions}
-manual~\citep{R:Extensions} for details.
-
-\section{Summary}
-
-This document described how to use the \pkg{Rcpp} package for \proglang{R}
-and \proglang{C++} integration when writing an \proglang{R} extension
-package. The use of the \Sexpr{link("Rcpp.package.skeleton")} was shown in
-detail, and references to further examples were provided.

+  \proglang{R} in general.

+
+\section{Introduction}
+
+\pkg{Rcpp}~\citep{CRAN:Rcpp,JSS:Rcpp} is an extension package for \proglang{R} which
+offers an easy-to-use yet featureful interface between \proglang{C++} and
+\proglang{R}.  However, it is somewhat different from a traditional
+\proglang{R} package because its key component is a \proglang{C++} library. A
+client package that wants to make use of the \pkg{Rcpp} features must link
+against the library provided by \pkg{Rcpp}.
+
+It should be noted that \proglang{R} has only limited support for
+\proglang{C(++)}-level dependencies between packages~\citep{R:Extensions}. The
+\texttt{LinkingTo} declaration in the package \texttt{DESCRIPTION} file
+allows the client package to retrieve the headers of the target package (here
+\pkg{Rcpp}), but support for linking against a library is not provided by
+\proglang{R} and has to be added manually.
+
+This document follows the steps of the \Sexpr{link("Rcpp.package.skeleton")}
+function to illustrate a recommended way of using \pkg{Rcpp} from a client
+package. We illustrate this using a simple \proglang{C++} function
+which will be called by an \proglang{R} function.
+
+We strongly encourage the reader to become familiar with the material in the
+\textsl{Writing R Extensions} manual~\citep{R:Extensions}, as well as with other
+documents on \proglang{R} package creation such as \cite{Leisch:2008:Tutorial}. Given
+a basic understanding of how to create \proglang{R} package, the present
+document aims to provide the additional information on how to use \pkg{Rcpp}
+in such add-on packages.
+
+\section{Using \texttt{Rcpp.package.skeleton}}
+
+\subsection{Overview}
+
+\pkg{Rcpp} provides a function \Sexpr{link("Rcpp.package.skeleton")}, modeled
+after the base \proglang{R} function \Sexpr{link("package.skeleton")}, which
+facilitates creation of a skeleton package using \pkg{Rcpp}.
+
+\Sexpr{link("Rcpp.package.skeleton")} has a number of arguments documented on
+its help page (and similar to those of \Sexpr{link("package.skeleton")}). The
+main argument is the first one which provides the name of the package one
+aims to create by invoking the function.  An illustration of a call using an
+argument \texttt{mypackage} is provided below.

+
+Using \Sexpr{link("Rcpp.package.skeleton")} is by far the simplest approach
+as it fulfills two roles. It creates the complete set of files needed for a
+package, and it also includes the different components needed for using
+\pkg{Rcpp} that we discuss in the following sections.
