Installing your package with 'R CMD INSTALL --html' gives you an 'html' directory with an index and all the static HTML help files.
(That is in the R-admin manual, under 'Help options'.)

For a single page, you will need to write your own code -- but since R is Open Source you have lots of examples to go from.

Dear All,

I need to convert all Rd help pages for my package to HTML format in order to serve these on our web-server. Ideally, I would like to do that as "all docs in single page" and also index page + one html page per Rd file.

Looking through documentation the only clues I could find were

* R CMD Rdconv --type=html FILE, which does not produce cross-links, does not process multiple files, and does not produce index file

and

* tools::Rd2HTML("pathtopackage/file.Rd",Links=findHTMLlinks("pathtopackage")); this will do a better job by producing cross-links, but again, no multiple files processing, and no index

This is not a big deal to make a loop over all files in my "man", and I can copy "00Index.html" from library/package/html after install, but I wonder if there is a more straightforward way to achieve my aim? Also, any suggestions as for generating a single HTML with all help pages of a package?

with best regards, and sorry if I am off-topic,
Yurii
