R: Generic function to convert object to a fragment of Rd code.

toRd {tools} | R Documentation

## Generic function to convert object to a fragment of Rd code.

### Description

Methods for this function render their associated classes as a fragment of Rd code, which can then be rendered into text, HTML, or LaTeX.

### Usage

    toRd(obj, ...)
    ## S3 method for class 'bibentry'
    toRd(obj, style = NULL, ...)

### Arguments

`obj` | The object to be rendered.
`style` | The style to be used in converting a `bibentry` object.
`...` | Additional arguments used by methods.

### Details

See `bibstyle` for a discussion of styles. The default `style = NULL` value gives the default style.

### Value

Returns a character vector containing a fragment of Rd code that could be parsed and rendered. The default method converts `obj` to mode `character`, then escapes any Rd markup within it. The `bibentry` method converts an object of that class to markup appropriate for use in a bibliography.
