Dear All, Two recent threads in the bioconductor devel mailing list (https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/bioc-devel/2018-April/013156.html and https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/bioc-devel/2018-April/013259.html) are related to packages that have different names of html files in different operating systems.
For example, parallel has a file called mclapply in Linux. So using, from the Rd file of another package, \link[parallel]{mclapply} works fine under Linux, but does not under Windows, because there is no mclapply.html file in Windows (there is a mcdummies file). Is there any recommended way to proceed in these cases? Yes, section 2.5 of Writing R Extensions indicates that \link[pkg]{foo} and \link[pkg:bar]{foo} are rarely needed; so the simplest way to proceed would be to avoid \link[pkg]{foo} and \link[pkg:bar]{foo}. I am asking for the cases where, as noted in 2.5, "more than one package offers help on a topic".
