Hello: Changes in R seem to have broken the sos vignette, and I don't know how to fix it. The build on R-forge, "https://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=235&log=build_src&pkg=sos&flavor=patched", ends as follows: Error in texi2dvi(file = file, pdf = TRUE, clean = clean, quiet = quiet, : Running 'texi2dvi' on 'sos.tex' failed. LaTeX

Hello, All: The vignette with the sos package used "upquote.sty", required for R Journal when it was published in 2009. Current CRAN policy disallows "upquote.sty", and I've so far not found a way to pass "R CMD check" with sos without upquote.sty. I changed sos.Rnw per an email exchange with Prof. Ripley without solving the problem; see below. 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"

Dear Duncan, The UTF-8 characters aren't properly rendered in the pdf version of the vignette. $?? ????? ?????? ?????? ????? ?? ?? is rendered as $????? ?????????? ???????????? ????? ?????? ? ???????? ???????? The same problem occurs when I use render("vignette.md", output_format = "mypackage::mystyle"), instead of render("vignette.md", output_format =

Hello: Clicking "Knit Word" in RStudio 0.99.893 with R 3.3.0, works fine with a vignette with "output: word_document". However, "R CMD build" throws the following error: $ R CMD build pkgW2vignettes * checking for file ?pkgW2vignettes/DESCRIPTION? ... OK * preparing ?pkgW2vignettes?: * checking DESCRIPTION meta-information ... OK * installing the

A few things to clarify: 1. You do not necessarily have to keep the \usepackage{} line if you use %\VignetteEncoding{UTF-8}, because Pandoc will use UTF-8 anyway in its LaTeX template. 2. Perhaps the vignette engine in R has done something clever to convert utf8 to UTF-8, but I'd recommend %\VignetteEncoding{UTF-8} instead of %\VignetteEncoding{utf8} to make sure it is a valid encoding name,

Hello, my package passes R CMD check without any warnings on my local machine (Mac OS), as well as on Uwe Ligges' Winbuilder. On RForge, however, we sometimes run into problems building the Sweave vignettes. Now here's my question: is it necessary for a CRAN submission that the Sweave vignettes can be compiled on CRAN, or is it possible to provide the (locally compiled) pdf vignette to

In fact my first vignette full stop. I am intending to use Sweave. I have read the Sweave documentation and section 1.4 of the extensions manual and apart from (a) do not use split = TRUE (b) and include all the source components, there does not seem to be anything CRAN specific. 1 - Am I missing some other documentation? 2 - If I use a package from CTAN would that be considered within the

Hello: Is it widely known that objects not explicitly deleted from one vignette in a package can be available to a second in "R CMD build" and "R CMD check" but not when the second vignette is built manually, at least under RStudio on Mac OS X 10.11.4 using R 3.3.0? For an example, see install.packages("pkgW2vignettes",

Hello: What's the preferred way to link to package documentation from a vignette using markdown? My current draft includes "[cumsum](https://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/base/html/cumsum.html)" to link to the help page for cusum{base} and "[KFAS](https://rweb.crmda.ku.edu/cran/web/packages/KFAS/KFAS.pdf)" to link to the pdf documentation for

Are there any plans for CRAN to support NEWS files in markdown? Bit of a hassle to go the the package?s Github (or other like) site to read NEWS.

Hi all, We know that Hermite polynomial is for Gaussian, Laguerre polynomial for Exponential distribution, Legendre polynomial for uniform distribution, Jacobi polynomial for Beta distribution. Does anyone know which kind of polynomial deals with the log-normal, Student抯 t, Inverse gamma and Fisher抯 F distribution? Thank you in advance! David [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, is it possible to have non-Sweave vignettes(*) in inst/doc/ be listed under 'Downloads' on CRAN package pages? For instance, in my R.rsp package I have a inst/doc/report.pdf (part of the source *.tar.gz) that is not detected/listed. The PDF is not based on a Sweave vignette but an *.tex.rsp vignette that is dynamically created via inst/doc/Makefile. It is listed (*) BTW, can the

I was recently browsing through CRAN's Finance task view to remind myself of the publicly available packages relevant to my work. As the reference manuals are all online, I am able to flip through the available functions to get an idea of the package's scope before downloading. That said, many authors have taken the time to additionally provide a useful vignette which provides a better
