R create reference manual with R CMD check

Question

I am writing an R package and would like to make a pdf reference manual of all functions in the package. I understood from here that R CMD check automatically c

Answer 1

Another way is to create the reference manual directly using:

R CMD Rd2pdf mypackage

where mypackage is the folder containing your R package code folder structure including the man folder with your .Rd files.

For some reason I never get the reference manual during build or check in RStudio, maybe because I've missed a setting somewhere. But running the command like this works fine as well.
