Is there any interest in a method of taking a package with documentation in Rd files and attaching it to package R files in Roxygen format? I can see a few problems with a totally general solution but it might be possible to make a script that provides a kickstart to converting a package to Roxygen. Or is it trickier than it seems? Barry
Dear Barry, I'd definitely be interested. Though I don't have time to do it :-( But I'd volunteer as test user :-) --Claudia> Is there any interest in a method of taking a package with > documentation in Rd files and attaching it to package R files in > Roxygen format?

Sounds like a neat idea! Especially with Duncan Murdoch's recent work making it easy to parse rdoc files in R.
