Editor for RD file?

Dear all, can somebody please update me on what could be the best editor to
write and edit the RD files? I need to something with syntax highlighter,
auto-completion etc (like Notepad++ for R etc.). Currently I am using plain
Notepad however expect something which could be more professional.

I believe ESS does syntax highlighting for Rd files if you use Emacs.

You could probably modify a LaTeX syntax highlighter for any other editor to
work with Rd files: ?the syntax is quite similar.

Yes, it does.  It is also nice because it runs R, so if I am writing examples in the
Rd files, I can run them directly.  Here is the little blurb regarding the major
mode for Rd files:

(Rd-mode)

Major mode for editing R documentation source files.

This mode makes it easier to write R documentation by helping with indentation,
doing some of the typing for you (with Abbrev mode) and by showing keywords,
strings, etc. in different faces (with Font Lock mode on terminals that support it).

Cheers,

Josh
