R help - Feb 2004 - help on compilation of R help file in LaTeX format.

Dear all,

I hope to know how to compile the R help file in LaTeX format under
Windows 2000. The TeX/LaTeX system is TeXLive 2002, and the version of
R is 1.8.x.

Another question, I hope to get the upright Greek letters, just as
these in Prof. Faraway's book "Practical Regression and Anova in
R",
but I don't know which package(s) and/or font(s) should be used in
LaTeX. 

Any reply and suggestion will be appreciated. TIA.

Regards,

Jinsong

Maybe search for 'greek upright' in CTAN:

See ?help, in particular look for its argument "offline" and the
section
"Details":

     If 'offline' is 'TRUE', hardcopy of the documentation is
produced
     by running the LaTeX version of the help page through 'latex'
     (note that LaTeX 2e is needed).  You need to customize the file
     'R_HOME/bin/helpPRINT.bat' which contains an example. The
     appearance of the output can be customized through a file
     'Rhelp.cfg' somewhere in your LaTeX search path.

See also ?Rdconv for converting Rd files to several formats. 

If you still need more information, please read the "Writing R
Extensions" manual.
