Hi Iaw, Hadley's book is generally a good starting point. For an overview of the roxygen2, I have a summary on http://www.iysik.com/r/roxygen2, which is but a small addition to the current sphere of knowledge.
Re. your questions: > * is it possible to import a set of *.Rd man documentation files into my R session? It is not clear what you are trying here. Rd documentation is not code (except the examples), so importing it into an R session seems to me nonsense. If you want to import existing Rd documention into a roxygen2 documentation, you will have to copy-paste the text and give it the necessary tags. > * is it still good practice to place my functions into their own environments Yes, this complicates everything. Stop doing it. I do not have answers to your other questions. /Stefan Den man. 18. feb. 2019 kl. 02.02 skrev ivo welch <ivo.we...@gmail.com>: > Apologies for the Intrusion.
