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:

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.

(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)
