I have a set of functions that I always load on startup. for example, there is my now infamous "is.defined()" function.I would like to add some documentation for these functions, so that I can do a ?is.defined inside R. The documentation tells me how to mark up Rd files is very good, but I wonder how one installs them for access by the R executable (on OSX for me). Do I drop them into a special directory? Which ones are allowed? Do I need to package everything into a library, or can I just add Rd files for source'd files? Do I parse the Rd files for R, or does R parse the Rd files on demand? so, is there a primer on installing Rd files?
Writing R Extensions is the main documentation. You put them in the man directory of a package, and R does the rest when you install the package.
