Is it possible to include .R files in the data directory of my package in the roxygen process?
I have put several .R files in the data directory. When they are sourced with data(), they read in raw data files and perform some transformations.
Roxygen can be used anywhere within an R file (in other words, it doesn't have to be followed by a function). It can also be used to document any docType in the R documentation.
So you can just document your data in a separate block (something like this):
#' This is data to be included in my package
#'
#' @name data-name
#' @docType data
#' @author My Name \email{blahblah@@roxygen.org}
#' @references \url{data_blah.com}
#' @keywords data
