\usage{
dev_help(
  topic,
  dev_packages = NULL,
  stage = "render",
  type = getOption("help_type")
)

dev_topic_find(topic, dev_packages = NULL)

dev_topic_index(path = ".")

dev_topic_index_reset(pkg_name)
}
\arguments{
\item{topic}{name of help to search for.}

\item{dev_packages}{A character vector of package names to search within.
If \code{NULL}, defaults to all packages loaded by devtools.}

\item{stage}{at which stage ("build", "install", or "render") should
\verb{\\\\Sexpr} macros be executed? This is only important if you're using
\verb{\\\\Sexpr} macro's in your Rd files.}

\item{type}{of html to produce: \code{"html"} or \code{"text"}. Defaults to
your default documentation type.}

\item{path}{Path to package.}

\item{pkg_name}{Name of package.}
}
\description{
\code{dev_help()} searches for source documentation provided in packages
loaded by devtools. To improve performance, the \code{.Rd} files are
parsed to create to index once, then cached. Use
\code{dev_topic_index_reset()} to clear that index. You can manually
retrieve the index for a local package with \code{dev_topic_index()}.

\examples{
\dontrun{
library("ggplot2")
help("ggplot") # loads installed documentation for ggplot

load_all("ggplot2")
dev_help("ggplot") # loads development documentation for ggplot
