[Roxygen-devel] documenting multiple methods for a generic S4 method

[Vinh Nguyen]

Dear list,

Suppose I define multiple S4 methods in my .R file.  For example,

setGeneric("genF", function(fitobj, ...) standardGeneric("genF"))
setMethod("genF", signature(fitobj="lm"), function(fitobj){ print("lm") })
setMethod("genF", signature(fitobj="glm"), function(fitobj){ print("glm") })

If I run package.skeleton() on my workspace, I'll get a
genF-methods.Rd file in the man directory that appears to have
template to document both methods.

If I use roxygen and place "@name genF-methods" in the documentation,
then only one (the later one in the .R file) gets documented in the
genF-methods.R file; genF-methods gets written twice (so first
documentation is overwritten).  How should we be documenting multiple
S4 methods with roxygen?

Thanks.
Vinh
