[R] Reference-pages: each function beginning on seperate page?
Hello, is the reference manual also available with each explained function beginning on a seperate page? Or can this somehow be done easily? I prefer reading documentation on paper, but printing makes more sense, when each function can be printed seperated (like in man-pages). Any idea, how to achieve this? TIA, Oliver

The reference manual is built by commands listed in the RHOME/doc/manual/Makefile.win file on Windows, and the Makefile on other platforms. The sort of change you want could likely be made to the RHOME/tools/pkg2tex.pl Perl script, but do note that the documentation production tools are being overhauled for R 2.9.0 (due in March or April), and I expect this will be an easier change after that's done than before.
