I don't see this error. Let me know if this is still current.
I am using neovim in macOS Sierra. I got :helptags ~/.vim/doc
works and tag file created. But :help learnvim
failed with E149 error.

Hmm... I don't use neovim or macos.
Vim searches the doc
directories in your runtimepath
- make sure ~/.vim/
is in your runtimepath
You could try: helpgrep learnvim
to see if Vim finds it that way.
And finally, you could manually open the file. It has modeline
settings that set the filetype
to help
enabling all of the normal help navigation keys required within the file.
If all that fails, I am sure the good folks at the freenode IRC channel, #vim
will be able to solve your problem. Good luck.
This might help someone in the future. I had this same problem with NeoVim. Looked at my runtimepath and seen that it was using .config/nvim instead of .vim. Moved the doc folder into ~/.config/nvim and then the steps to make the helptags and use them worked.
Hi, on most of the underlined help files, especially in the first section, I receive the following error:
E426: tag not found:
help.txt
<-help.txt
being an example of the one of the files that it cannot find.
