[R-pkg-devel] How to build *-package description from *-package.R files ... and a luser/newbie question about pkgdown
Please note that most rooygen2 users don't call the overview file 'pkgname-package' but just 'pkgname'. Also, these days people mostly use README.md for approximately that purpose and put a very minimal statement in pkgname-package or equivalent.

Do you or anyone else have an example of a ****-package.R that Rstudio's check has built into a package documentation file that was well populated and useful? I think that's the key exemplar I am seeking and I'm finding it hard to craft any web search that finds me such a thing. Any offer?! TIA, Chris ----- Original Message -----

- I don't think RStudio supports a "Preview" for the help page for a function (but I might be wrong about this, since I don't use it much).
I haven't found it if it is there. I'm guessing you use ESS?
No, I use RStudio. When I said "I don't use it much", I meant Roxygen2. Duncan Murdoch
