I wonder if there is a way to hyperlink to headers within the Markdown document... that would make for a more readable document (e.g. where the tab names are enumerated under ##Interface, it would be nice if each tab name were linked to the help section dealing with that tab).

re: last comment, there is absolutely a way to do this if I can include my own HTML head text confined to the help subpage, but I haven't figure out how yet (see #6).

@felixthoemmes, you can now compile the help/help_page.Rmd file into www/help_page.html after you work on the manual. This output file gets read by the shiny app automatically.

Note that if you simply try to "knit" help_page.Rmd in RStudio using the available button, help_page.html doesn't get created in the correct directory for shiny to find it (i.e the www directory).

Note that you can create hyperlinks in the document by setting anchors on headers like ## Header 1 {#h1anchortag} and then referencing them with [display text]{#h1anchortag}. For an example, search for #model in help_page.Rmd.
