[R-SIG-Mac] Permanently fix R to open Help page in html

[MacQueen, Don]

The first thing I would do is go to the “Format” menu in Textedit, and make sure “Make Plain Text” is selected. Textedit’s default format is RTF, which is not what you want.

(Apologies if someone else already suggested this and I missed it)

    Hi,
    
    I wanted R to open any Help page in html permanently.
    
    So 1st I created .Rprofile file with below code in terminal:
    
    touch ~/.Rprofile
    
    open -a Textedit ~/.Rprofile
    
    
    And then in the .Rprofile file, I wrote below code :
    
    options(help_type = ‘html’)
    
    However after that when I start R (from Terminal) I get below error on loading R
    
    Error: 1:20: unexpected input
    
    1: options(help_type = ?
    
                           ^
