Hi,
I am working on a package which requires separate documentation
(tutorial documentation, really, with a lot of beautifully
latexed equations), and does not use R-help. I am trying to
make it so that my help function will automatically search
R-help if the help topic isn't found in my documentation.
The function looks something like this:
help.pkg <- function(topic) { # where the topic is a
character string
url <- NULL
if(is.character(topic)) {
..... # assignments for the URL given the topic
}
if (is.null(url)) {
topic <- as.name(topic)
help(topic)
}
}
In the last line, help(topic) returns that there is no help for
"topic". I have also tried various permutations of
substitute(help(topic)) and eval() to no avail.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks,
Olivia Lau.
