One could argue that using pkgdown is a way to improve your R package documentation for very little effort. If you only tweak one thing, please introduce grouping in the reference page.

Workflow automation tools for package developers

R CMD check or devtools::check\(\) will check your package for adherence to some standards (e.g., what folders can there be) and run the tests and examples. It’s a useful command to run even if your package isn’t intended to go on CRAN.

The results of an analysis are shown and discussed in a markup fle that is used to create a PDF document. Researchers often do not explicitly document the relationships between fles that they used in their research. For example, the results of an analysis–a table or fgure–may be copied and pasted into a presentation document. It can be very diÿcult for future researchers to trace the table or fgure back to a particular statistical model and a particular data set without clear documentation. Therefore, it is important to make the links between your fles explicit.
