Dear All,
I need to convert all Rd help pages for my package to HTML format in
order to serve these on our web-server. Ideally, I would like to do that
as "all docs in single page" and also index page + one html page per Rd
file.
Looking through documentation the only clues I could find were
* R CMD Rdconv --type=html FILE, which does not produce cross-links,
does not process multiple files, and does not produce index file
and
*
tools::Rd2HTML("pathtopackage/file.Rd",Links=findHTMLlinks("pathtopackage"));
this will do a better job by producing cross-links, but again, no
multiple files processing, and no index
This is not a big deal to make a loop over all files in my "man", and I
can copy "00Index.html" from library/package/html after install, but I
wonder if there is a more straightforward way to achieve my aim? Also,
any suggestions as for generating a single HTML with all help pages of a
package?
with best regards, and sorry if I am off-topic,
Yurii
