a list of file names specifying the R documentation sources to use, by either giving the paths to the files, or the path to a directory with the sources of a package. |
options |
further options to control the processing, or for obtaining information about usage and version of the utility. |
R CMD Rdconv
converts Rd format to plain text, HTML or LaTeX
formats: it can also extract the examples.
R CMD Rd2pdf
is the user-level program for producing PDF output
from Rd sources. It will make use of the environment variables
R_PAPERSIZE (default a4
, also legal
and
executive
)
and R_PDFVIEWER (the PDF previewer). Also,
RD2PDF_INPUTENC can be set to inputenx
to make use of the
LaTeX package of that name rather than inputenc
: this might be
needed for better support of the UTF-8 encoding.
Use R CMD
foo
.
