Could someone please point me to where information about the two entries %\VignetteDepends{} and %\VignettePackage{} are documented? I'm getting an error with %\VignetteDepends{} with my package name in braces. Looking at the vignettes on my system, some include the package name and some don't. Should it be there? If so, why might I be getting an error doing so? $ R CMD check SuperCurve * checking for working pdflatex ...
