1	rdoc_question(type, topic)

type

the special type of documentation to use for this topic; for example, if the type is class, documentation is provided for the class with name topic. See the Section ‘S4 Method Documentation’ for the uses of type to get help on formal methods, including methods?function and method?call.

topic

Usually, a name or character string specifying the topic for which help is sought.

Alternatively, a function call to ask for documentation on a corresponding S4 method: see the section on S4 method documentation. The calls pkg::topic and pkg:::topic are treated specially, and look for help on topic in package pkg.

The manner in which content is outputted depends on where it is being used. If used from a terminal the contents will be outputted via file.show. Otherwise the output will be printed interactively by sections unless this has been disabled via options(rdoc.by_section = FALSE). When printing by section pressing the <enter> keypress will show the next section. Any other keypress will exit the interaction without printing any remaining sections. Color support is checked via crayon::has_color(). Customising rdoc output is possible via 'options', see rdoc_options for more details.
