Hi All,<div><br></div><div>Is there any chance Roxygen3 could support a bit of markdown syntax?</div><div><br></div><div>Being a literate programming technique, Roxygen syntax is clearly designed to be easily readable in raw format. As such, having to add \code\link, \item and other approximately LaTeX syntax of the .Rd files feels wrong. I'd love to be able to add links or lists (explaining parameter arguments, return objects) with the markdown-style syntax instead. Do others think this would be useful, or am I missing something?</div>

Roxygen3 (which will eventually get merged back into roxygen2) is at a<br>
state where your comments on the design and implementation would be<br>
appreciated. The code is at <a href="https://github.com/hadley/roxygen3/" target="_blank">https://github.com/hadley/roxygen3/</a>, and<br>
there's a brief introduction to the structure in the readme.<br>
<br>
The code is fairly complete - the code gives the same output as<br>
roxygen2 (except for whitespace and that I haven't implemented<br>
templates yet) on devtools, plyr and ggplot2. It's about 50% slower<br>
than roxygen2.<br>
