In ?Sweave, it refers to Sweave User Manual. In the doc folder of utils package, I see "Sweave.pdf".

I?m preparing a package (fastR) for submission to CRAN, but the vignette index keeps going AWOL, or at least R CMD check ?as-cran thinks so. I?ve tried several things and gave myself the weekend to think of other things, but I can?t figure it out. Perhaps someone on the list can lend a hand. Here?s one example situation, where I build the index.html file myself and put it in inst/doc/index.html

I'm finalizing development of a package that will include a vignette. Without the vignette, the package builds fine with no warnings and is ready for distribution. Now, I am following the directions for developing vignettes "Sweave, Part II: Package Vignettes" by Friedrich Leisch. I am using a windows XP machine (other session info below). Here is what I have done. 1) I add the

R CMD check gives an error when a vignette entry %\VignetteDepends{} has any extra space at the end. Maybe this is by design, but I found it confusing. Changing the function "vignetteMetaRE" in tools package could solve the problem. I.e. vignetteMetaRE <- function(tag) paste("[[:space:]]*%+[[:space:]]*\\\\Vignette", tag,"\\{([^}]*)\\}", sep = "")

Dear List, I recently stumbled over the possibility and need to specifiy % \VignetteDepends{} in my vignettes. I did not know about this, and I notice that it is not mentioned in the R-extensions manual section "Writing package vignettes". I have some questions with regards to that: - would it be possible to include into the section "Writing package vignettes" some hint

Small suggestion for the documentation: Should the = operator for assignments, described on http://developer.r-project.org/equalAssign.html, now be included in the operator table in doc/manual/R-lang.texi? If so, one possibility could be after lines 1096/7: @item @code{<-} @tab Left assignment, binary @item @code{=} @tab Left assignment, binary Also, where is the best place to send

Hi, I have a problem when checking the package 'probdistr' (on probability distributions). I got this warning * checking index information ... WARNING Vignettes with missing or empty \VignetteIndexEntry: [1] "probdistr-chi" "probdistr-contextra" "probdistr-discrete" [4] "probdistr-discrextra" "probdistr-exp"

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

I am having trouble converting the output from Sweave into a valid PDF file. I have created a simple .Rnw file which will become a full vignette at some point, but during the intermediate testing, I got errors from texi2dvi. This is what I have done. 0) Using a Windows Xp system 1) Created a file called GeneSpring.Rnw 2) Convert this to Tex using Sweave("GeneSpring.Rnw") from within R

Dear R developers, I observed that the html help page index entry "Read overview or browse directory" for package vignettes is missing in recent R-devel. This happened on two independent computers (WinXP Prof. SP3, German) with R-devel compiled from sources svn rev. 48125 resp. 48128 It's the same for my own and also for more prominent packages as well (e.g. grid). The

Dear all, I would like to suggest the following changes to the R documentation: 1) R-exts.texi: Having had my first experience with uploading a package to ftp://cran.R-project.org/incoming/, I think it would be nice if the documentation pointed out that one should use ftp and not sftp (at least on my machine sftp failed to make a connection) and that one should log in as user

Context: R2.15-0 on Ubuntu. 1. I get a WARNING from CMD check for "Package vignette(s) without corresponding PDF: In this case the vignettes directory had both the pdf and Rnw; do I need to move the pdf to inst/doc? I'm reluctant to add the pdf to the svn source on Rforge, per the usual rule that a code management system should not have both a primary source and a object

G'day all, after issuing `svn up' on my machine this morning, I noticed that `make info' choked on R-exts.texi. Below is a patch that seems to solve the problem. BTW, while `make info' runs now, I still get the following warning: /usr/bin/makeinfo --enable-encoding -D UseExternalXrefs -I/opt/src/R-devel-src/doc/manual /opt/src/R-devel-src/doc/manual/R-exts.texi

Line 1204 (right now) of svn/r-devel/doc/manual/R-exts.texi has dest <- file.path(R_PACKAGE_DIR, paste0('bin', R_ARCH) which lacks a closing ) -- two open, only one close right now. Dirk [1] I would have reported a bug, but I am aware of a recent and not-so-friendly response when bugzilla was used to report a typo. -- http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com | @eddelbuettel | edd at

The R-exts manual still says Note also that for running @LaTeX{}, the Debian @acronym{GNU}/Linux @acronym{CRAN} check systems use the Debian TeXLive at footnote{currently the long obsolete TeXLive 2009.} distribution (@uref{http://packages.debian.org/@/en/@/sid/@/texlive}); the Fedora and and what is in the footnote has not been true for quite some time as a visit to the URL (or to the

Dear all, I'm trying to use a Markdown vignette with UTF-8 encoding. It compiles well when knitting the vignette in RStudio, but it fails to recognize the UTF-8 settings when building the source package. Can someone point out what I'm doing wrong? I tried to put the relevant information below. Best regards, Thierry Details: Using 64-bit R 3.1.2 with encoding = "native.enc"

Hello! I have just discovered a possible bug or lack of my knowledge. The last option is not so uncommon and I decided to ask here before flooding the bugs repository. Say I have a package test with vignette. Moving package directory to some other name, say test2, fails R CMD check with $ R CMD check test2 * checking for working latex ... OK * using log directory

Attached is a patch for R-exts.texi against r72880.
