What does \Sexpr[results=rd]{} exactly mean in Rd?
Thanks a lot! Sorry for cross-posting, but I did it intentially because I tend to believe Barry Rowlingson (Why R-help Must Die!), and I will summarize the answers here later to StackOverflow. Another user also told me this worked for 2.13.1, but not later versions.

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.
Perhaps best not to cross post to several internet resources at once. I replied to the same Q on StackOverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/q/7788628/429846 Suffice it to say that your example works for me with 2.13.1 (still need to compile 2.13.2 on my workstation). I left some additional comments and examples, which might help understand this. I had trouble when I first started playing this and didn't pursue further, but I think I am starting to understand how to use this now after taking a look when I tried to answer your Q. G
(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)
