FWIW (and a bit late in the discussion, I know), I for one do not care about having NEWS in md format at all. The solution the Yihui uses (linking to GH from NEWS.Rd) is really annoying for people with no direct Internet access. For example, I work at an institute that handles a lot of private dat

Mark, With respect I think you're conflating two different things here. I completely agree with you that the workflow Yihui uses where the NEWS file doesn't actually have the NEWS in it in a form that R can understand is quite bad for users. It also makes the NEWS difficult to compute on, which h

Mark, You're conflating issues here andTwo things I think you are missing: 1. Markdown was designed to be as readable as possible in plain text format (i.e. the sources, not the rendered file). There's nothing stopping you reading and parsing a NEWS.md in your head trivially. 2. The proposal her

Agreed, and "There's nothing stopping you reading and parsing a NEWS.md in your head trivially." was very poorly phrased on my part. Just because I can filter this out doesn't mean it is easy for others to do so. Clearly anything with markup, even as light as markdown can be, is not as simple as p

@Gavin: My aim was to point out that the ability to mix developer-facing documentation with user-facing documentation is not a good reason to want to support md. I agree with Duncan that links to within a package would be useful (not sure if NEWS.Rd supports this). I'm not so convinced that packa
