[R] Skipping .Rd files and using Org-mode instead?

[Thorsten Jolitz]

Hi List, 

it seems that .Rd files are just an intermediary format used for
exporting to txt, html and latex when creating an R package. 

How flexible is the R package mechanism? Would it possible to skip .Rd
files alltogether, write the docs with another tool (e.g. Emacs
Org-mode), export them to txt, html and latex, and include these
exported files in the package? 

Or does the R package mechanism simply expect the .Rd files to be there,
so that there is no way avoiding the .Rd format?
