Recently I installed Linux on my desktop. I discovered that R for Linux ships
with info files of manuals. R for Windows and Mac only ship with html and pdf
files of manuals.
Why not include info files in R distributions for Windows and Mac? These are
very convenient with emacs. Using pandoc , I tried converting from html to
info. The results were nowhere near as good as the originals.
I think the answer to the question is just that there isn't much demand
for them: emacs is mainly used by Linux users these days.
But the source to the manuals is available, so presumably you could
produce these pretty easily yourself. The R-devel versions are here:
https://github.com/r-devel/r-svn/tree/master/doc/manual
I don't know whether the .texi files are sufficient for emacs or whether
you need to process them first; I'm not an emacs user.
