Neal Richardson commented on ARROW-5452:
----------------------------------------
If only .Rmd was the documentation format that R used. R man pages are .Rd
format, which is a flavor of TeX. I can't imagine that it's worth our trouble
to reimplement everything that `pkgdown` does to parse those and crossreference
across those and various other (mostly markdown) pages. Plus, the pkgdown site
style is familiar to R users, just as sphinx is for Python users. It's better
for the intended audience of the docs.
[https://arrow.apache.org/docs/js/] and [https://arrow.apache.org/docs/java/]
already exist, so it doesn't seem unreasonable to add R to that. We can (and
should) have links to those other languages in the sphinx /docs/ ToC sidebar.
