Hello! There are various ways you can use to find that documentation in the online HTML manual.

  1. Go to the Sage Reference Manual. Under the "General Information" section you will find the option "Index". When you click on that, a page will be open with the alphabet. In your case, you have to press "F", of course, and then search for "factor()". Click on in, and you will have the same information as with factor?.

  2. If you use the sage?? command on your REPL, you will notice at the end of the printed text a part that says

    File: /Scientific/SageMath/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sage/arith/misc.py

    This tells you that the factor() function is located at the module "sage.arith.misc". So go to the Sage Reference Manual, go to the "General information" section at the end of the page, and select "Module Index". A page showing every single Python module defined by Sage will appear in alphabetical oreder. Under the "A" (for "arith") you will find the entrance for "sage.arith.misc". Click on it, and you will be shown all the subroutines defined in that file, including the factor() function.

  3. You can use a combination of both previous methods: Use the factor?? command, where you will see the line I mentioned in point 2. Then you go to the Sage Reference Manual, click on "Index", and introduce the module name, "sage.arith.misc". You click on the name of the module when the search results appear. There you'll find the "factor()" info.

  4. Finally, you can write search_doc('sage.arith.misc.factor', whole_word=True), which, of course, is based on the result of factor??, as in point 2. That will search the whole documentation for the words "sage.arith.misc.factor". Of the whole output of this command, you are interested in the line that contains id="sage.arith.misc.factor":

    en/reference/rings_standard/sage/arith/misc.html:1461:

    Notice the part "en/reference/rings_standard/sage/arith/misc.html"? If you prepend the Reference Manual address to that ("https://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/reference/rings_standard/sage/arith/misc.html"), you will find the documentation you're looking for.

Since the PDF documentation is based on the HTML version, it should not be difficult to adapt this methods to find the PDF documentation for factor() or any other function or method.

I hope this helps!
