Package manual Tex file

Dear All,

My apologies if the question is ambiguous.

I can create the pdf manual from a package I've built from "R CMD check
fooPackage". Is there a way to get the Tex file for the package manual pdf?
Well, I presume there is Tex code "behind" a package manual pdf file. But
if so, how can I get it?

I'm on Mac OS.


Thanks,
Axel.

Hi Duncan,


Thanks for your response.


The command  "R CMD Rd2pdf --no-clean fooPackage" is creating the pdf file
with the package manual but not the .tex file. I find this odd given that
the following is part of the log:


"Hmm ... looks like a package

Converting Rd files to LaTeX .

Creating pdf output from LaTeX ...

(/Users/package manual/.Rd2pdf14087/Rd2.tex

LaTeX2e <2009/09/24>"


I don't see the .Rd2pdf14087 folder (Note also that I'm on Mac OS and I set
the options to see all hidden files).


Alternatively, the command below successfully creates the .tex file for me.
However, I wonder if there is a way to do this for all .Rd files at once
(including the DESCRIPTION file).


R CMD Rdconv -o fooFUN.tex --type=latex fooFUN.Rd



Thanks again for your help,

Axel.

I don't see what you describe.  On Mac OS I see this output:
