R starts a built-in Web server that generates HTML help pages dynamically (and handles things like searches through the Web interface). It uses a randomly selected local port, which you should easily be able to figure out in the R process.
OK.
- Are there any tex, man pages available?
(in /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/PACKAGE_NAME/ help_or_latex)
Nope. Just a binary database (*.rdb / *.rdx) in the help/ subdirectory.
You can ask for static HTML pages during package installation (from source), but most users will get the pre-built binaries from CRAN without any "readable" version of the help pages.
I see. This and next week I've to travel a lot, ie much time for adapting hopefully.
