staticdocs
staticdocs provides a way to conveniently render R package documentation into html pages suitable for stand-alone viewing, such as on a package webpage. You can see staticdocs in action at http://staticdocs.had.co.nz: this is the output of staticdocs applied to the latest version of staticdocs.
staticdocs is not currently available from CRAN, but you can install the development version from github with:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("hadley/staticdocs")
Features
Attractive defaults: staticdocs uses [bootstrap] (https://getbootstrap.com/2.0.4/) to provide an attractive website.
Customisable: you can override the default templates to provide alternative rendering
Flexible ways to specify the index page so you can group related functions together.
