tldrDocs provides tldr
documentation for many of the commonly-used objects included in the base
distribution of R. For example, there is documentation included for all
of the distribution functions exported in stats—below, we show the
documentation for the *pois() functions:
Also included is documentation for the apply() family of functions.
Here, we include the documentation for lapply(), sapply(), and
vapply():
You can install the development version of tldrDocs from GitHub with:
if (!requireNamespace("remotes")) install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("jamesotto852/tldrDocs")Once you have installed tldrDocs, you do not need to (and should
not) load it via library(). tldr::tldr() will be able to find the
installed documentation for base R functions automatically.
The goal of tldrDocs is not to provide documentation for every function exported in base R—just those that are commonly used and/or have aspects that are difficult to remember. If you believe that documentation is missing or existing documentation needs correcting, please open an issue or fork this repository and submit a PR. For help on writing tldr documentation, see the tldr repo.
Note, only base packages are documented via tldrDocs—if you are a package developer that wants to include tldr documentation in a package, see tldrExample for an example of a package with tldr documentation.
