-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, A follow up to my previous post. It'd be good to have syntax highlighting in the html help pages. There is highlight (http://www.andre-simon.de/) which seems to be open source. Since code is delimited in the help file format, it should not be too difficult to run a highlighting program (actually, vim and emacs do this too) recursively and pretty-print all the R examples in the entire CRAN. Including the highlighter with R, or whatever supplementary tools people use to make R html help files could simplify things. I've never written docs or released a package, so I may be understimating the effort it'd take to get this working.
Using the r-help gmane archives also leads to plain code. This is probably more trouble than it's worth, since there's no metadata delimiting a block of code and it might be difficult... but grepping through all R-help posts and coloring code would be really nice too. Again, this lands straight into 'nice to have, but not essential' territory. If anyone wants to do this, feel free to. Best, - -J - -- Jose Quesada, PhD.
