Hi, I have spent a few hours on the R-exts manual and the documentation of parse_Rd() (as well as the PDF document in the references), but I still have not figured out what results=rd means. I thought I could use an R code fragment to create an Rd fragment dynamically. Here is an example, in which I was expected the output to be a describe list <DL> in HTML, but it turns out not to be true.
(I was actually building a package with Rd's containing \Sexpr{} instead of really using Rd2HTML(); the content was not rendered after I run R CMD build.) des <- "\\describe{\\item{def}{ghi}}" con <- textConnection(c("\\title{abc}\\name{abc}", "\\details{\\Sexpr[results=rd,stage=build]{des}}")) z <- parse_Rd(con) Rd2HTML(z, stages = "build") close(con) <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html><head><title>R: abc</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="R.css"> </head><body> <table width="100%" summary="page for abc"><tr><td>abc</td><td align="right">R Documentation</td></tr></table> <h2>abc</h2> <h3>Details</h3> <p>defghi</p> </body></html> > sessionInfo() R version 2.13.2 (2011-09-30) Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit) locale: [1] LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=C [3] LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8 [5] LC_MONETARY=C LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8 [7] LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NAME=C [9] LC_ADDRESS=C LC_TELEPHONE=C [11] LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=C attached base packages: [1] tools stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods [8] base other attached packages: [1] devtools_0.4 loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] RCurl_1.6-10 Thanks!
