I'm trying to convert R documentation files (extension .Rd) into plain text. I am aware that RdUtils contains a tool called Rdconv, but as far as I know it can only be used from the command line. Is there a way to access Rdconv (or a similar conversion tool) from within an R session?

You may always invoke a system command e.g. with the
system2
function:Make sure that R is in your system's search path. If not, replace the first argument of
system2()
above with full path, e.g.C:\Program Files\R\3.1\bin\R.exe
.
