Doc Plugin Help for R
On Linux
On linux, the command to get help in R is simple. Check the option to output to buffer and then enter:
Rscript --slave -e "help(%w, help_type = 'text', try.all.packages = T)"
On Windows
On windows, it is a bit harder since invoking Rscript will open a console that will exit immediately. The fix is to create a workaround batch file and place it in your search path.
- rhelp.bat
@echo off echo | Rscript --ess -e "help(%1, help_type = 'text', try.all.packages = T)"
Then call that in the Doc command line:
rhelp %w
