[Roxygen-devel] Line break bug when use.Rd2=TRUE

[Vinh Nguyen]

Thanks Laurent for your response.  After some staring at the code and
debugging, I found that the reason is caused by the @name tag (I had
both @name and @rdname) when documenting a function and class with the
option use.Rd2=TRUE.  Removing @name removes the line break issue
coming from the generated aliases.

I think roxygen automatically generates an alias with -method and
-class from the @name tag and is somehow picking up the "\n".

I also want to note that I have both @name and @rdname in the -package
documentation and this did not cause an issue.
