After completing #45, I resubmitted to CRAN. I received the following check failing message:

It seemed like having the closing brace for \item tags on its own line was causing the problem. For example, Lines 41-51 looked like this:

#'     \item{description:}{
#'       Although you may add any text you desire to the
#'       `description` attribute, it is intended to be used describe the
#'       question/process that generated the data contained in the column.
#'       Many statistical software packages refer to this as a variable label.
#'       If the data was imported from SAS, Stata, or SPSS with variable labels
#'       using the `haven` package, `codebook` will automatically recognize them.
#'       There is no need to manually create them. However, you may overwrite the
#'       imported variable label for any column by adding a `description`
#'       attribute.
#'     }

I tried moving the closing curly brace up to be inline with the text like this:

#'     \item{description:}{
#'       Although you may add any text you desire to the
#'       `description` attribute, it is intended to be used describe the
#'       question/process that generated the data contained in the column.
#'       Many statistical software packages refer to this as a variable label.
#'       If the data was imported from SAS, Stata, or SPSS with variable labels
#'       using the `haven` package, `codebook` will automatically recognize them.
#'       There is no need to manually create them. However, you may overwrite the
#'       imported variable label for any column by adding a `description`
#'       attribute.}

But, it didn't help. I still got this error from devtools::check_win_devel():

checking Rd files
   checkRd: (-1) cb_add_col_attributes.Rd:41-50: Lost braces in \itemize; meant \describe ?
   checkRd: (-1) cb_add_col_attributes.Rd:51-59: Lost braces in \itemize; meant \describe ?
   checkRd: (-1) cb_add_col_attributes.Rd:60-92: Lost braces in \itemize; meant \describe ?
   checkRd: (-1) cb_add_col_attributes.Rd:93-127: Lost braces in \itemize; meant \describe ?
   checkRd: (-1) cb_add_col_attributes.Rd:128-136: Lost braces in \itemize; meant \describe ?

The line numbers changed, but the error didn't. I wonder if I should try just getting rid of the \itemize and \item tags, and just use pure markdown instead. I could also try using \describe instead of \itemize.

Using \describe instead of \itemize seemed to work. I'm resubmitting to CRAN.
