Instead of an answer, may I add question
c) can someone state that it is impossible to generate static HTML help
pages under Windows?
No, it is not impossible, see my answers below.

I upgraded to R2.10.1pat and discovered, along with everybody else,
that static HTML pages are no longer the default. Fine; my tastes
would go the other way, but I'm happy to adapt.
However, I'd still like to build static HTML pages (for stable
bookmarking, use when R is not running, etc.).
I'm using the Windows installer, so the advice in the R Installation &
Admin guide (section 2.2, "Help options") to use the configure option
--enable-prebuilt-html doesn't seem to apply. I'm using
install.packages() rather than R CMD INSTALL, so I don't quite
understand how the --html arg to R CMD INSTALL can apply either.
So, can anybody point me to an example of either:
(a) how to build the static HTML help pages of all currently
installed packages under Windows,
At least two ways:
Way 1: reinstall all those packages from sources using
R CMD INSTALL --html
Way 2: go to the man directory of a source package and apply
R CMD Rdconv --type="html" *.Rd
to all Rd files.
or, failing that
(b) how to do this on Windows ab initio, from a clean install?
install the packages from sources as described in (a) Way 1 rather than
the prebuilt binaries from CRAN.
Best wishes,
Uwe Ligges
Thanks!
