Global roxygen options for a package

[gaborcsardi]

We would put them in the DESCRIPTION file, in the Roxygen field, which is allowed, but not used currently.

The plan is to have R code there, and initially we would support switching Markdown parsing on/off:

Roxygen: list(markdown = TRUE)

I will submit a PR in the coming days.

I see you are finishing things up. I'll try to write this tomorrow.

I'd also consider turning markdown on by default, and we can see how it goes when applied to my packages.

Of course you would turn it on, because you can blame me if sg goes wrong.
:)

With the current link implementation, there will be problems with Rd
brackets for example.

Why don't we just turn it on for your packages?

Regardless, we need this global switch, I think. I'll write it tonight.

Wait a sec, there is code for this already: https://github.com/klutometis/roxygen/blob/596893c42b48aaa91781a60ffaad3c2dc0000ac0/R/roxygenize.R#L86

I am sorry, I wasn't aware of this. So I can just all markdown here.....

This can be closed, there is a way, the Roxygen field. It works fine for markdown.
