Hi all,

I think my previous email didn’t get through because of screenshots
paste in the email.

Apologies for the relatively basic question, but… can anyone tell me
how to produce the alphabetical index of man pages that appears in
RStudio when clicking the package name in the package panel? For
example, take the Biobase package; in RStudio, go to the “Packages”
panel, click on “Biobase”. You will see “A B C D … misc” links
between the section title “Help Pages” and the list of man pages.
What I am trying to achieve is to display those links, and display
the man pages by groups starting with the same letter. All I get when
I build and reload the package is a list of help pages without the
alphabetical links.

I have looked at the source of the Biobase on GitHub and the “Writing
R extensions” page, but I don’t see any instruction in either the man
pages or the metafiles that seems to produce this index.

I don't know! It's not Rstudio, but R itself. I think it's hard-coded into R and based on the number of entries, specifically at
