(PR#9613) [Wishlist] to uniform help(x) and library(help=x)

Full_Name: Luca Braglia
Version: R version 2.4.1 (2006-12-18)
OS: Debian Lenny (testing)
Submission from: (NULL) (82.61.142.240)


Some options of mine:

options("htmlhelp")

$htmlhelp
[1] TRUE

options("browser")

$browser
[1] "/usr/bin/urxvt -rv -e elinks"


I run R under X windows system: if I command

help(foo)

foo manual page is printed, correctly, under elinks (my textual browser); but if
I command

library(help=asd)

asd package summary page is printed in R console.
I would like library(help=asd) to be printed in my browser too, if possible:
strictly speaking

--> add htmlhelp = getOption("htmlhelp") in library arguments

to be used only if "help" option  is specified.


Thanks a lot,

    Luca
