Okay, I've been convinced of both the feasibility and the desirability of a pdf. However, such a thing is unlikely to appear very soon.

Hi, all: My opinion is, provide a PDF tutorial is important, but not one web page containing everything. From the perspective of end-user programming, most people will have a fast reading of your tutorial to get principles of R. When they become working with R, they need come back often to search the detail they have seen but could not remember. Most end-users spend much time than reading the tutorial. So provide a tutorial easy to search is very important. They can search by going down with link tree, or by searching utility provide by website(like cplusplus.com <http://cplusplus.com>), or google. Even if the PDF file is better than the single long webpage, at least user could remember page number. Seldom can remember the exact position of scroll. best Liping Liu On Sat, Oct 23, 2010 at 4:28 AM, Patrick Burns <pbu...@pburns.seanet.com <mailto:pbu...@pburns.seanet.com>> wrote: No (and I have an excuse). It is a tree of pages rather than a single document. My impression is that a pdf needs to be linear.

It includes links to other documents that are possibly along the lines you seek. On 23/10/2010 07:18, 刘力平 wrote: Dear Sir/Madam: Great thanks for R project and you contribution. I am Liping Liu, a beginner of R. Recently, I use R much. I wish you could improve the manual by making it search engine friendly. The "Introduction to R" page is too long. I am often redirected to this page by goole, but I still can not find the content I need easily. Could you please make it a structured: one page concentrated on a small topic and all these pages linked together? Indeed the tutorial of Weka is much better than R's, in my point of view. And I can not find a enterance of references. I appriciate it if you take my feedback seriously. best, Liping Liu [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org <mailto:R-help@r-project.org> mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. -- Patrick Burns pbu...@pburns.seanet.com <mailto:pbu...@pburns.seanet.com> http://www.portfolioprobe.com/blog http://www.burns-stat.com (home of 'Some hints for the R beginner' and 'The R Inferno') ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org <mailto:R-help@r-project.org> mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. -- Patrick Burns pbu...@pburns.seanet.com <mailto:pbu...@pburns.seanet.com> http://www.portfolioprobe.com/blog http://www.burns-stat.com (home of 'Some hints for the R beginner' and 'The R Inferno')
