pkgdown
Generate static html documentation for an R package
pkgdown is a tool that automatically generates websites for R packages. It converts your package documentation, README, and vignettes into a formatted website.
The package streamlines documentation by transforming existing package components into web pages without requiring manual HTML creation. It integrates with GitHub Actions for automated deployment and uses Bootstrap 5 for modern styling. Over 12,000 R packages currently use pkgdown to make their documentation more accessible and discoverable online.
