the main web page is meant the page when a package is accessed on CRAN. So is it possible on this page that the content of DESCRIPTION is displayed to display the related publications and also put the related publications so that they appear on the help pdf file?

The package help file (e.g. foo-package.Rd for package "foo") will be
displayed first in the PDF, and is the first entry linked in the help
page index for the package.

I don't know what page you mean as the "package main web page".
