I prefer Adobe reader's directory search. But I don't have the up-to-date set of pdf manuals on my computer. I can do an easy global search of the html manuals with text wrangler but I then have to read html. I am thinking I will have to start building my own R just to get the ability to build the manual pdf's.

Dear list,

Would it be possible to include the pdf versions of the R manuals in
the CRAN mac R install? I find them easier to global search than html
ones. (I am used to having them on Windows.)

I generally copy the link to the html and paste them into my browser.
The search in the default GUI-invoked help panel doesn't handle
punctuation or revisions to searches at all well. The text get
overwritten in the bottom entry slot and I don't think the
search-revisions actually occur.


Regards,

Ruth
