Thanks. I misunderstood "compiled". Sorry. I need "static" html.
I cannot install all the packages (for several reasons). That is why I wrote my script to extract the html pages only. The parts of R that it uses are: /usr/share/R/perl/build-help.pl tools:::.writePkgIndices() make.packages.html() I will see how it works. But I may give up if it doesn't work.
