Re: [R] HTML help -- as a single document for the entire package

[Holger Hoefling]

Hi David,

thanks - I do have that as well. That is a good chance to clarify. The
regular help gives a *separate* page for every single function. The regular
pdf-manual gives one document for *all* functions in a package.

The nice thing about having a single html page for all functions in a
package would be that it is easily searchable in the browser, it is more
lightweight than a pdf and wouldn't be restricted by formatting based on
the notion that it has to be printable to a page on paper.

I was wondering if something like this exists ... and Duncan very quickly
answered that for me.

Thanks

Holger

Re: [R] HTML help -- as a single document for the entire package

[David L Carlson]

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.

If you wanted to write it yourself, you would need to modify the 
tools::Rd2HTML function, and write a wrapper that called it for every Rd 
page.  This would be mostly straightforward:  instead of working for 
just one file, it would need to loop over all of them; it would also 
need to handle links between topics differently than it currently does, 
because some of them would be internal links, others would be external.


The source for the function is in 
https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/src/library/tools/R/Rd2HTML.R.

My somewhat different understanding may simply be a reflection of
a different operating system (given my inferior knowledge of the R
ecosystems to that of Duncan). 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

Re: [R] Html help

[Murray Jorgensen]

Thanks very much, Duncan. I understand this better now. It takes a bit 
of getting used to but the prospect of some day getting graphic elements 
to help should make it worthwhile. (And I guess it saves on disk space 
by only generating the help pages as needed.)

Since 2.10.0, HTML help is generated on demand. It doesn't go off your
local computer, it works locally. This saves a bit of space (the HTML is
generated from the same source as the text is generated from), but the
main point is that it allows help pages to contain dynamic content. For
example, Romain Francois posted some demo code a while ago to allow the
display of graphics generated by R within help pages. (Unfortunately it
depended on a particular browser feature not supported by Internet
Explorer, so I'm going to need to put together something less elegant,
but that's life.)

It sounds as though you have an old library that will need to be rebuilt 
to work with 2.10.1.  The link in the base page should be to something like


http://127.0.0.1:26057/library/base/html/get.html

(the port number will vary), not to

file:///usr/local/lib64/R/library/base/html/get.html

Why would you want to build them before displaying them?  There are a 
few uses for that sort of thing (e.g. Jon Baron's site that RSiteSearch

Excellent!  That worked.  Thanks, Peter.
If this is going to be a continuing issue for future versions, would the best 
advice be to upgrade JVM anyway, at least to 1.5.0?

Hmm, could be. They got rebuilt on my system and committted at some 
point in the 2.6.1 run-in. and that system has 1.5.0. I did check that 
things still worked, but I didn't think the version would matter. The 
actual Java code is unchanged, so you could copy the .class files over 
from 2.6.0 (& let us know if it works)

[R] HTML help search in R 2.6.0 v 2.6.1

[Michael Bibo]

I am running R on a corporate Windows XP SP2 machine on which I do not
have 
administrator privileges or access to most settings in Control Panel. 
R is 
installed from my limited user account.  The version of the JVM I have

installed is perhaps best described as antique:
 
> system(paste("java -version"),show.output.on.console=T)
java version "1.4.1"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1-b21)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1-b21, mixed mode)
 
The HTML help search applet has worked for all versions of R up to and

including 2.6.0, but in 2.6.1 the java applet is not initialised
("Applet 
SearchEngine notinited").  I have checked Appendix D of the admin & 
installation manual, and the test java applet referred to does not
load, 
but the web page says that java 1.4.2 is required.  Other java applets
do run 
in the browser, including R 2.6.0 HTML help search, so I presume java
is 
enabled. 
 
Has something changed from 2.6.0 to 2.6.1 that may require JVM > 1.4.1?
 If 
so, I can use that information to request an upgrade of my JVM.
