Using MathJax in R's help system
I think your "another CRAN package for mathjax" approach is better than modifying the base R's code. I am trying to find the possible way to implement it.

But the user still needs to get it in some way - an additional installation step means that it's probably not suitable for inclusion with base R. It could possibly be bundled inside a package, using some tricks to keep all the files in a single zip file, which reduces the bundle size to a manageable 15 meg.
Agreed.
2. About the helpr package:
I install the helpr package from CRAN, and, maybe due to my
problem, the manual of this package is quite confusing to me.
I run the command helpr and my browser shows me the following
content:
Could you please provide a reproducible example?
The following steps should get you up and running:
install.packages("helpr")
library(helpr)
helpr()
It seems that I triggered a strange issue (or, a bug is ESS?). I run exactly the same commands in EMACS+ESS and then I got the error messages shown in my last mail. Now, I try to do the same things but, at this time, I run the commands in a terminal (gnome-terminal), then, everything works properly, as you expected (I can see the packages and functions list with nice CSS layout in the browser). This issue is quite weird, and I think it is caused by Emacs or ESS but not the helpr package. I still need to do several test to figure out what really causes it.
The solr warnings will be removed in the next version - you can ignore them for now. Hadley
