Hi the list, I would like to put a link in a .Rd file to a PDF document (not a vignette, just a regular PDF). I put my PDF in the folder inst/doc/toto.pdf. In the bible "2.5 Cross-references", I read that \link can point to PDF file, but I did not manage to do it. How shall I do that ?

What it says is that links will be produced in PDF documents (i.e. the PDF form of the man pages), but those are internal links. You can use the \url tag (or as of the upcoming 2.12.0 the \href tag) to link to a PDF file. If your package is named "foo", \url{/library/foo/doc/toto.pdf} should work. (The "/library/" part at the start does not need to match your own library location; the help server looks for that particular string.) Duncan Murdoch
Thanks, Duncan. And where am I suppose to put the file toto.pdf ? In "/myPack/doc/" or in "myPack/inst/doc/" Christophe -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Link-to-a-pdf-document-tp2271973p2272016.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Hmmm.
I guess I did something wrong since it does not work.
The file r2lhOutput.pdf is in the folder \inst\doc\
In the Rd file (for example in rthb.Rd) I add
"See \url{/library/r2lh/doc/r2lhOutput.pdf} for display detail."
But the link leads to a dead link.
I did not manage to find the file r2lhOutput.pdf on the package presentation
either...
Any idea on what goes wrong?
Christophe
