Would you mind telling me how to get at the documentation
source code? Download and unpack the source, then look for the appropriate .Rd file. For example, in my copy of the source for R-1.9.1 (old, don't work with this!), I find C:\R\R-1.9.1\src\library\graphics\man\barplot.Rd (If this is not the appropriate source file, someone please say so!)
Starting with R-2.0.0, the Windows binary installer has an option for installing the Rd files for at least R itself (not sure about recommended packages), I believe exactly for the purpose that users can submit suggested patches.
Is there a - how to change the documentation document? ( I
will make one
if you give me some instructions....
I don't think such a document exists, but I'm not the person to help with this.
The `Writing R Extensions' manual has a section on how to write the Rd file. I'm not sure how one would write a document that describes how to change a Rd file...
I guess I can just edit a copy of the source and diff the
original and
send the diff ?
Again, a member of R-core who might actually vet the changes and put them into the repository would be the appropriate one to comment on this. Previous topics with the subject "Help Documentation" (which got filed with bug report numbers 6713, 6716, and 6717) also address this issue. (these appeared in March 2004).
When I find typos in the documentation, I just post them to R-devel. R Core has been very responsive to such posts. Best, Andy
