help.start {base}R Documentation

Hypertext Documentation

Description

Start the hypertext (currently HTML) version of R's online documentation.

Usage

help.start(gui = "irrelevant", browser = "irrelevant")

Arguments

gui just for compatibility
browser the name of the program to be used as hypertext browser.

Details

The Windows file association mechanism is used to send the HTML file to a browser, launching one if necessary.

Unlike Unix systems, running help.start does not send all future help requests to the browser: use options(htmlhelp=TRUE) to set that.
