not sure but it might not be possible to use \item inside \item{}{... \enumerate{.}}. Probably best move to lower more descriptive sections.

They can be definitely be nested. I separated them so that I could emphasize the first point later. Too OTT?

so maybe incorrect number/placement of { somewhere. To debug locally use R CMD check data.table_1.11.5.tar.gz --no-tests so you should be able to nail it down much faster.

Out of continued curiosity, what aspect of base R is this consistent with? Thanks |
|
@malcook data.frame instead of data.table |
|
Just looking at this now, I actually agree with @malcook and hadn't considered the edge case where the data.table had only 1 row. |
|
#2938 now fixes this from a functionality point of view, i.e. making the functionality work the same when the data.table has only 1 row. |
|
@sritchie73 for the record, would you mind rejecting this pull request seeing as yours supersedes? |
|
Sure, didn't realise I had the power to do so! Closing this PR as it is superseded by PR #2938 |
Closes #2930 from the documentation aspect. There may be a case for
nrow(x) == 1prioritizing column indices, however I chose a documentation change rather than a code change as (a) it's already released, (b) it's consistent with base R.
