displaying.
It is possible to have dynamic content in help pages. Web pages (e.g.
generated using R-markdown or Shiny) are even more flexible for content,
but maybe not meeting your requirement for displaying in an ESS buffer
or Linux terminal window.

You can probably cobble together something, but spitting large chunks of
information at users when the program wants to is bad design. It would be
better to make a vignette or help file in a package and put the associated
code from which you had been planning to spit out that text.

Hi all,
I am looking for a function that receives some text (any text) and
displays
it to the user in the same way as the 'help' function does. Unlike
'cat',
that outputs the text in the current window, the one I'm looking for
should
work as 'help' that, for example, in emacs ess opens a new buffer, in
the
linux terminar displays it as the more command, etc. Is there any
function
that does this?
