I can approve this when the conflicts are resolved.

I thought an alternative was created to the earlier code, which is why I deleted it in an earlier PR.

Does this have to be moved into the docs repo now?

[bob-carpenter]

I'm not sure what the plan is. Hopefully @mitzimorris or @seantalts will know.

all functions signatures were converted into HTML comments in the .Rmd files.
in the docs repo, this command will get you the function sigs:
grep '^<!--' src/functions-reference/*.Rmd

there are 666 of them.

But we had 711 signatures in 2.18.x

OK - looks like conversion didn't get all sigs for the built-in functions but did for the distributions.
will fix.
