Thanks for the tip. I had thought of using the demo facility for this
but I didn't know how to check for the operating system.
This is a clumsy solution, but better than nothing. I agree with Duncan
that there is a problem with the help system. It should either have a
way to embed formulas and g
This all seems very similar to the built-in "vignette" function; e.g.
vignette("grid")
