In the satus quo, I can see how the choice of which pages to look at is
dynamic if more than one comes up on a search, but it seems inefficient to me
to have the page itself be dynamic. I think it would be a good idea if
package authors could at least have an option to have their help pages
produced as files either way.
That decision is left to the user - you can use --html to generate html pages.
This is appealing to me, but I can't seem to find any info about it. Maybe
having the "--" part of the "--help" is throwing off my searches. I couldn't
find "--help" when I searched R's help. If my package is named MyPackage,
how would a user generate the html pages from it with "--html"?
I guess by "user" Simon meant the person who installed the package
(--html is an option to R CMD INSTALL), which AFAICT is not necessarily
the same as the user. In any case, it seems that this is not in the
hands of the package author.
