Yes, of course:
"All good" R package authors edit *.Rd files by hand
((;-), well no, I know it's not true ..
I personally use roxygen (in ESS, see below) only sometimes at the very
beginning of writing a new function, or for functions that I
do *not* export, because there's a nice key stroke to create
the outline). ... and if I export that function use the
Roxygen -> Rd *once* only, and from then on, I edit the *.Rd nicely
including using descriptions lists, some math, etc... all well
indented, nicely human-readable etc, much nicer than hidden in
roxygen R comments)
Rstudio has supported *.Rd in the past but as I'm not using it
regularly .. I don't know if they dropped it now... that would
honestly surprise me, though.
Rather ESS (Emacs Speaks Statistics) has always well supported
Rd editing, and I thought the vim - plugin for R would also
support *.Rd but probably not ??
Best,
Martin
