Combine Rd fragments and strings into one object.

Usage

list_Rd(..., Rd_tag = NULL, Rd_class = FALSE)

Arguments

...

named list of objects to combine, see `Details'.

Rd_tag

if non-null, a value for the Rd_tag of the result.

Rd_class

logical; if TRUE, the result will be of class "Rd".

Details

The names of named arguments specify tags for the corresponding elements (not arbitrary tags, ones that are converted to macro names by prepending backslash to them). This is a convenient way to specify sections, items, etc, in cases when the arguments have not being tagged by previous processing. Character string arguments are converted to the appropriate Rd pieces.

Argument ... may contain a mixture of character vactors and Rd pieces.

Value

an Rd object or list with Rd_tag attribute, as specified by the arguments.
