#' Roclet: make Rd files
#'
#' @description
#' This [roclet] automates the production of the `.Rd` files that
#' R uses to document functions, datasets, packages, classes, and more.
#' See `vignette("rd-functions")` for details.
#'
#' It is run by default by [roxygenize()].
#'
#' @seealso [tags-rd-functions], [tags-rd-datasets], [tags-rd-S3], [tags-rd-S4],
#'   [tags-rd-S7], [tags-rd-R6], [tags-reuse],
#'   [tags-index-crossref] for tags provided by this roclet.
