This was a known problem which Kurt Hornik and I solved earlier today.

Short version: the (Debian testing Linux) machine which produces them was updated to texinfo 5.1, and that is not compatible with R 3.0.1. This lack of back-compatibility is really rather annoying, and if you meet it, you need to use 3.0.1-patched.

Subject: [R] empty html pages for R-exts and R-intro

Dear all,

I've found the html versions of
  'An Introduction to R' [http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-exts.html]
  'Writing R Extensions' [http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-intro.html
]
to be empty. Not sure if this intentional, some transitional state of sort
or if it is a genuine bug in the help documents processing.

Best,
James.
