I'm optimistic we will do that soonish ...

Not nice, but you may follow the way described in subsection "Platform-specific documentation" in WRE.

Here's another "Non-file package-anchored link(s) ..." issue. I'd like to reference parallel::mclapply() in my help pages. With the new R-devel requirements, you have to link to the file and not the topic. However, there is no cross-platform stable file reference for parallel::mclapply(); # According to R on Linux > basename(help("mclapply", package="parallel")) [1] "mclapply" # According to R on Windows > basename(help("mclapply", package="parallel")) [1] "mcdummies" How can I provide a \link{} reference to the help("mclapply", package="parallel") documentation?
