Hello * is possible to have something like the LaTeX \href in Rd ? \url doesn't fit very well, and I didn't find much about. I have a long (external to the help system, a www one) url but i would like it to be "hidden" from a small word with the link. Please CC me! ;) thanks in advance Luca

No, \url is the only way to include a link outside the help system, and it displays the URL. If you really don't want to display it, you could use \link to a separate help page that contained a \url link, but it would not be very convenient. Duncan Murdoch
One approach would be to use one of the URL shortening services to define a shorter URL. The shorter URL would then appear rather than the long original one (although there would still be a URL shown so its not quite the functionality you asked for). For more info google for: url shortening

yes, I've already used tinyurl, but it's not very smart anyway. BTW thanks all! Luca ps. it's time for a wishlist item
