Hi, I' using Ubuntu 10.10/11.04 and on both of the systems help doesn't work unless I set options(help_type="html"). I hate to change context and help_type='html' distracts me. I want text based help inside console. Where should I look to fix this problem? -- Amol

...n't been covered already (I searched a bit, but I had a little trouble filtering down to a useful number of useful results). Anyway, when I install R on Windows, the installer asks to set the default help type. For some reason, I can set it as HTML in the installer, but the results open as if help_type = "text" by default. I presume this is related to the new changes to the help. Calling help(help, help_type = "html") works as expected, so the HTML help works and I could manually fix this by setting options(help_type = "html") in a session or in my .Rprofile. I'...

After a clean install of R 4.0.0 (R-base only) on Mint 19.3, the directory /usr/lib/R/library/base/html is empty. However, the directory /usr/lib/R/library/boot/html contains files 00Index.html and R.css. Correspondingly, the command help(package="base", help_type="html") produces the text "No package index found for package base". The same occurs when clicking on the "Index" link at the bottom of help pages for functions in this package. The command help(package="boot", help_type="html") displays the doc...

Hi, I have options(help_type="html") in my .Rprofile and when I type ?foo, the man page appears as a new tab in my web browser (which is already running). Fine. However, when I type ??foo, rather than the results appearing in a new tab, a new instance of the web browser is spawned with the default homepage displayed....

I'm trying to get help to print the help pages in html format to the terminal. This is in order to be able to see the html help files remotely. If I do printURL = function(file) {a=readLines(url(file));cat(a,sep="\n")} options(browser=printURL) options(help_type="html") then invoking help with ?print gets stuck. I think what happens is that the web server run by R that allows one to read help will not work as long as R is waiting for the function to complete. Thus, if I run a second R session, and try to read the help files that one session pro...

Hi folks, R on ESS Why it is unable to pop up help manual on "R on ESS"? ?layout Error in help("layout", htmlhelp = FALSE) : unused argument(s) (htmlhelp = FALS ?plot Error in help("plot", htmlhelp = FALSE) : unused argument(s) (htmlhelp = FALSE) etc. But they work on R console and popup the manual without problem.

Dear R, Usually when I want to read pdf help for R functions under Linux, I do the following steps > help("par",help_type="pdf") > system(paste(getOption("pdfviewer"),"par.pdf")) which works well.
