Tables of predefined sections and types of pieces of Rd objects.

Usage

Rdo_predefined_sections

Rdo_piece_types

rdo_top_tags

Details

The Rd syntax defines several tables (Murdoch 2010) . Rdpack stores them in the variables described here.

Rdo_predefined_sections is a named character vector providing the types of the top level sections in an Rd object.

Rdo_piece_types is a named character vector giving the types of the core (all possible?) Rd macros.

NOTE: These objects are hard coded and need to be updated if the specifications of the Rd format are updated.

todo: write functions that go through existing Rd documentation to discover missing or wrong items.
