CRAN task views are useful, but they seem difficult to write and
maintain because the XML format is rather limited (no sectioning)
What type of sectioning would you like to have? In the HTML part, you
can use the usual structuring tools like <h*>, <p>, etc. It's not
OK. I think you mean the <info> ... </info> section, where I failed to
read the vignette sufficiently closely, which talks about
using HTML.
and the <packagelist> must be maintained manually.
Yes, but I recently started adding tools to help checking this.
Hopefully I'll also get round to add some more convenience features
for this.
Something simple might be a tool to scan the <info> ... </info> section
for <pkg> ... </pkg> mentions and just print
a new <packagelist> section to the console. This would avoid having to
remember what you added recently
and manually add to the <packagelist>
