I've created a .Rd file (below), then converted that to .sgml using
R CMD Rdconv --type=Ssgm combn.Rd > combn.sgml
The output (shown below) is missing some of the sections:
arguments
seealso
examples
If instead I convert to .d (below), the same sections are missing,
and the "note" section is included but without the necessary newline.

\title{ Generate combinations of m elements out of x }
\description{
Generate all combinations of \code{m} elements out of \code{x} or
\code{1:n}, and optionally apply a function to each, and return
a list or simplify to a matrix or array.
}
\usage{
combn(x, m, FUN = NULL, simplify = TRUE, ...)
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{ This is normally an integer \code{n}, in which case
combinations of elemnents from \code{1:n} are returned.
Otherwise this is a a vector, and elements of the vector are returned.
\item{m}{ Number of elements in each combination. }
\item{FUN}{ function to apply to each combination. If \code{NULL},
the combinations themselves are returned, one in each column of the
result. }
\item{simplify}{ If \code{FALSE}, the results are returned as a list,
one combination or function value in each element. If \code{TRUE},
if possible the results are simplified to a matrix or array.
}
\item{\dots}{ Optional argument to pass to \code{FUN}
}
}
\details{
The case where \code{FUN} is supplied are handled by calling
\code{\link{sapply}}, so \code{...}
should not include argument to \code{\link{sapply}} -- in particular avoid
\code{X} and \code{FUN}.
}
\value{
Normally, a matrix with \code{m} rows and \code{choose(n,m)} columns.
If \code{simplify=FALSE} a list is returned instead, with
\code{choose(n,m)} elements. If \code{FUN} is supplied then the
results of calling the function replace the combinations.
}
\note{This is similar to the R function \code{combn}. However,
this version returns a list if simplification is not possible, e.g.
because the \code{FUN} returns objects with varying lengths.
}
\seealso{ \code{\link{combinations}} is used to create the combinations.
It is faster to call function directly (note that it gives the combinations
in a different order).
\code{\link{sapply}} is used when \code{FUN} is supplied.
\examples{
combn(5, 3)
combinations(5, 3)
combn(letters[1:5], 3)
combn(5, 3, simplify = FALSE)
combn(5, 3, FUN = max)

Generate all combinations of 'm' elements out of 'x' or

a list or simplify to a matrix or array.
.CS
combn(x, m, FUN = NULL, simplify = TRUE, ...)
.RT
Normally, a matrix with 'm' rows and 'choose(n,m)' columns.
If 'simplify=FALSE' a list is returned instead, with
'choose(n,m)' elements. If 'FUN' is supplied then the
results of calling the function replace the combinations.
.DT
The case where 'FUN' is supplied are handled by calling
'sapply', so '\&...'
should not include argument to 'sapply' - in particular avoid
'X' and 'FUN'.Note
This is similar to the R function 'combn'. However,
this version returns a list if simplification is not possible, e.g.
