[R] How to show Vignettes download link on CRAN package page
Hi, This question might be stupid, but I cannot find the answer anywhere. Some packages, like RUnit ( http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/RUnit/index.html) has a "Vignettes:" download link on that CRAN page. However, my package PivotalR ( http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/PivotalR/) does not have such a download link, although PivotalR does have a vignette pdf file located in inst/doc. My question is: How to show such a vignette link for the vignette pdf file? -- *Pivotal <http://www.gopivotal.com/>* A new platform for a new era [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

See 'Writing R Extensions' for what a vignette is: calling it pivolatr-vignette.pdf does not make it a vignette. -- Brian D.
