[R] HTML help -- as a single document for the entire package
Hi, I was wondering if there was an equivalent to the pdf-manual for R-packages, but rendered as a single html page? I am looking for this as it 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. Thanks Holger [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

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.> Duncan Murdoch > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.David Winsemius Alameda, CA, USA

It is not quite what you are asking for, but there are several online pdf to html conversion websites. I tried a simple package pdf file and it converted fine. The page numbers are still there, but it is a single continuous page. ------------------------------------- David L Carlson Department of Anthropology Texas A&M University College Station, TX 77840-4352 -----Original Message----- From: R-help [mailto:r-help-bounces at r-project.org] On Behalf Of Duncan Murdoch Sent: Wednesday, April 6, 2016 4:38 AM To: Holger Hoefling; R-Help mailing list Subject: Re: [R] HTML help -- as a single document for the entire package On 06/04/2016 4:17 AM, Holger Hoefling wrote:> Hi, > > I was wondering if there was an equivalent to the pdf-manual for > R-packages, but rendered as a single html page?
