Hi, A new package Rd2roxygen has been released on CRAN: http://cran.r-project.org/package=Rd2roxygen (source package available; binaries to come)
This package can be useful for developers who used to document their functions in the raw Rd files but want to switch to roxygen now using inline roxygen comments (e.g. me). The main functionality of this package is to parse the Rd files under the ./pkg/man directory, and update the R scripts under the ./pkg/R directory accordingly with roxygen comments. It can deal with most of Rd tags correctly, but there might be some trivial problems which need adjustment by hand. This package will not make a backup of the source package first, so it is recommended to back up the ./pkg/R directory before converting the Rd files.

License: GPL URL: https://github.com/yihui/Rd2roxygen Collate: 'rd2roxygen.r' 'utils.r' I asked the question in r-help a few days ago, and it seems some developers are in the same situation as me. This is a solution to my own question, hence Cc'ed to r-help as well.
