HTML help -- as a single document for the entire package
Hi David, thanks - I do have that as well. That is a good chance to clarify. The regular help gives a *separate* page for every single function. The regular pdf-manual gives one document for *all* functions in a package. The nice thing about having a single html page for all functions in a package would be that it is easily searchable in the browser, it is more lightweight than a pdf and wouldn't be restricted by formatting based on the notion that it has to be printable to a page on paper. I was wondering if something like this exists ... and Duncan very quickly answered that for me. Thanks Holger On Wed, Apr 6, 2016 at 5:57 PM, David Winsemius <dwinsemius at comcast.net> wrote:

would make reading easier as - no restriction to the standard paper width, but flowing to the browser window size - no page breaks - full text search across the entire manual.
No, there isn't.
My somewhat different understanding may simply be a reflection of a different operating system (given my inferior knowledge of the R ecosystems to that of Duncan). I run R in the R.app GUI on a Mac and the Help menu dropdown choice brings up links (in browser form) to local versions of the documents that I thought were shipped with every new installation. Assuming your request is for an html version of "Writing R Extensions", then I get one with: http://127.0.0.1:15834/doc/manual/R-exts.html -- David.
