</div>I really don't like mixing generated and hand-written files in the<br>
same directory - it just seems like a recipe for trouble. (And makes<br>
source code control just that much more complicated)<br>

I don't have any opinion on where the templates are located, but I would recommend that there is a generic, modular import mechanism that is able to parse any type of file into the Rd object model, as long as a driver exists.<br>
