Dear R Developer,
It seems to be a problem with help file. Not sure if it is related to
the new format of Rd parser. Multiple lines are joined together
without proper line break.
It was a problem with the handling of fancy quotes in a DBCS encoding (as
used for CJK languages). We don't attempt to use them for sQuote(), and
will no longer attempt to use them for help. This will take effect in
r49952 and later, and seems to work for me in CP936.
It is not easy for us to test in Chinese Windows (most non-Chinese editions
do not support it, or need add-ons installed), so please keep on reporting
issues, particularly those with help (text, HTML, PDF?) rendering.
As for the HTML help, it works if I launch it by help.start(), but the
link becomes broken if I launch it by click menu "help- html help".
That is the expected behaviour, since it uses static HTML help and no
prebuilt package HTML pages are being shipped. I don't know if Duncan
wants to change it to call an R function, but that would have the
disadvantage of being unavailable when R is running (you will note
that that menu item is not greyed out when Rgui is running
computations, unlike most others).
I think it is better to make the change, so that the help pages are
available. You can jump between pages once the browser is open
(hopefully the server is handling this safely; it hasn't crashed for me
yet).
I'll commit this...
Duncan Murdoch
