[R-pkg-devel] Format/parser for NEWS (not NEWS.Rd)?

[Henrik Bengtsson]

Hi,

I'm looking for a parser of the plain text NEWS format (not the
NEWS.Rd format) - ideally the same on that is used by R itself.  Does
anyone know which that one is / of such at tool?

Thanks,

Henrik

PS. help("news") mentions tools:::news2Rd(), but that's actually
defunct (just reported
https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=16556).
