Do we need \describe{} here? See https://developer.r-project.org/parseRd.pdf .

Yes, in R documentation (.Rd) files, you need to use \describe{} if you want to use \item{}{}.

Explanation:

  • \describe{} is used to create a description list in R documentation.
  • \item{}{} defines individual list items, where the first argument is the term being described, and the second argument is its description.

Example:

\describe{
  \item{param1}{This is the first parameter description.}
  \item{param2}{This is the second parameter description.}
}

Alternative:

  • If you don’t need a term-description list and just want bullet points, you can use \itemize{} instead:
    \itemize{
      \item First bullet point.
      \item Second bullet point.
    }

So, yes, \describe{} is required for \item{}{} in .Rd files.

#' contains the vertices of a shortest path from `from` to a vertex in `to`.
#' The shortest paths to the same vertex are collected
#' into consecutive elements of the list.}
#' \item{epaths}{This is a list similar to vpaths,
#' but the vectors of the list contain the edge ids along the shortest paths,
#' instead of the vertex ids.}
#' \item{nrgeo}{A vector in which each element is the number of shortest paths
#' (geodesics) from `from` to the corresponding vertex in `to`.}
#' \item{res}{Deprecated}
#'
#' For `mean_distance()` a single number is returned if `details=FALSE`,
#' or a named list with two entries: `res` is the mean distance as a numeric
