I have many datasets in a some of my packages, and always used `utils::promptData()` to generate the skeleton of a man/data.Rd file. Now that I've switched to roxygen style, I have found no simple equivalent. In fact, with RStudio tools for generating documentation for functions, it is surprising that documenting data has been overlooked.
I solved this problem by simply editing `utils::promptData()` to replace .Rd style with equivalent roxygen tags. The result in now in a gist, https://gist.github.com/friendly/14f3ee1464213bb0b9fbcb489468383b I called this function `use_data_doc()`, because I thought it would be a welcome addition to the usethis package. I hope that someone on this list can advise how to make such a function available to all R package developers. -Michael --- Michael Friendly Email: friendly AT yorku DOT ca Professor, Psychology Dept.
