Is this the appropriate place for GSoC conversations?
If I understand the proposal correctly, there should be a lexer
(written in R) that exposes an API; that API would be used by
segregated mini-parsers (Roclets) which do the dirty work of Roxygen
-> {html, LaTeX, DocBook, ...} translation.
The lexer should ship with a proof-of-concept Roclet. Have I missed
anything?
You should probably also survey existing attempts - I have written something with ruby that suggest some ideas. I also have a number of packages documented with that format which could be used for testing - I'd be happy to reformat my existing documentation if it meant I would no longer have to maintain my quick and dirty (and buggy!) parser.
