indented \item{}{...} entries rendered incorrectly

[kevinushey]

Reprex:

library(usethis)
library(pkgdown)

tmp <- file.path(tempdir(), "spaces")
usethis::create_package(tmp, open = FALSE)
setwd(tmp)

content <- "
#' Title
#'
#' This is a description.
#'
#' \\describe{
#'
#' \\item{Label}{
#'
#'   This text is indented in a way pkgdown doesn't like.
#'
#' }
#'
#' }
foo <- function() {}
"

writeLines(content, "R/foo.R")
writeLines("export(foo)", "NAMESPACE")
devtools::document()
pkgdown::build_site(tmp, preview = TRUE)

Navigate to the foo reference page:

Note the item text is rendered as c("", <text>).

It looks like it might just be the extra newline following the item{label{ bit that causes this.

Minimal reprex:

library(pkgdown)

rd2html("
\\describe{
\\item{Label}{

  This text is indented in a way pkgdown doesn't like.
}}")
#> [1] "<dl class='dl-horizontal'>"                                                                               
#> [2] "<dt>Label</dt><dd><p>c(\"\", \"  This text is indented in a way pkgdown doesn't like.\\n\")</p></dd></dl>"
