rd2html function

Convert all Rd files in a directory to HTML files in a new directory

Just a wrapper for tools::RdHTML to find a directory (e.g., the Man directory of help files) and convert them to HTML files in a new directory. Useful for adding HTML help files to a local web page.

rd2html(inDir =NULL,outDir=NULL, nfiles=NULL,package="psych",file=NULL)

Arguments

• inDir: The input directory. If NULL,then a file in a directory will be searched for using file.choose()
• outDir: Where to write the output files
• nfiles: If not NULL, then how many files should be written
• package: name of package
• file: If specified, just convert this one file to HTML

Details

Just a wrapper for Rd2HTML calling some file tools. An interesting use of the function is to precheck whether all the help files are syntactically correct.
