| RdUtils {base} | R Documentation |
Utilities for converting files in R documentation (Rd) format to other formats or create indices from them, and for converting documentation in other formats to Rd format.
R CMD Rdconv [options] file R CMD Rd2dvi.sh [options] files R CMD Rd2txt [options] file R CMD Sd2Rd [options] file
file |
the path to a file to be processed. |
files |
a list of file names specifying the R documentation sources to use, by either giving the paths to the files, or the path to a directory with the sources of a package. |
options |
further options to control the processing, or for obtaining information about usage and version of the utility. |
Rdconv converts Rd format to other formats. Currently,
plain text, HTML, LaTeX, S version 3 (Sd), and S version 4 (.sgml)
formats are supported. It can also extract the examples for
run-time testing.
Rd2dvi and Rd2txt are user-level programs
for producing DVI/PDF output or pretty text output from Rd sources.
Sd2Rd converts S (version 3 or 4) documentation formats to Rd
format.
Use
R CMD foo --help
to obtain usage information on utility foo.
Conversion to S version 3/4 formats is rough: there are some
.Rd constructs for which there is no natural analogue.
They are intended as a starting point for hand-tuning.
