R help - Oct 2012 - Mirror of the R manuals with a new visual style

Dear all,

I've created a new mirror of the HTML versions of the main R manuals
at <http://r-manuals.flakery.org>. This mirror does not modify the
content of the manuals at all, but simply injects a new visual style
with the aim of making the text easier to read and navigate. It will
be updated after each release of R.

The code used to generate these versions is freely available at
<https://github.com/jonclayden/r-manuals>.

I hope some people find this useful. Comments are welcome.

All the best,
Jon

 Very elegant. Could you restyle the whole of www.r-project.org now
please? And without using FRAMEs? :)

 One comment - all the code areas have visible horizontal scroll bars,
even when not needed. Perhaps change the CSS from :

overflow-x: scroll

to

overflow-x: auto;

 so the bars only appear when needed. Maybe its different on your
browser, but I see dead scroll bars (firefox and chrome)
