Hans,
just out of interest: why does the Tidy function remove comments? The formatting is very nice, but loosing the comments is quite a price to pay...
up to now the Tidy function makes usage of R's internal function formatting.
I declare a new dummy function à la:
dummy <- function() { "TM's R document code" }
and then I dump this dummy function by using options(keep.source = FALSE) for a R --slave command via:
dump(ls(all = TRUE), file = "a_temp_file", control = c("keepInteger", "keepNA", "quoteExpressions")
By doing this all comments will be unfortunately removed. That's why I'm still looking for a better way.
