Dear R developers,
?help.search
...opens a tab in my browser (Firefox 3.5.6, Win XP):
http://127.0.0.1:31642/library/utils/html/help.search.html
When I click on the link for "?",
(http://127.0.0.1:31642/library/utils/help/?)
in the last line of "Details", I get an error message:
"Server error: invalid response from R".
Similarly,
The link to "??" (http://127.0.0.1:31642/library/utils/help/??) found
under http://127.0.0.1:31642/library/utils/html/help.html "See also"
gives same error message.
On the other hand, in the help text for "help"
(http://127.0.0.1:31642/library/utils/html/help.html) the link to "?",
found under "See also", is
http://127.0.0.1:31642/library/utils/html/Question.html, which seems to
be the correct link.
I did not manage to find anything on this topic in recent bug reports on
"Documentation" and "Documentation fixed".
Thanks. The problem is that the HTML converter doesn't escape the
question marks, which have special meaning in a URL, so they are
misinterpreted. I'll look into it.
