Contributed packages have copies of their vignettes on CRAN (in their package page at <cranmirror>/web/packages/<packagename>).
Since base packages no longer have a page here, I can't find a web link to them. I'm aware that I can find the vignette via browseVignettes() or vignette("vignettename", package = "packagename"). There are two use cases where a web link is more useful. If someone is asking for help and I want to direct them to a vignette, having a link to a vignette rather than getting them to open R and type a command increases the chance that they will actually bother to look at the thing. Secondly, if I want to read a vignette on a machine without R (ebook reader, phone, whatever), then a web link is more convenient. Are the base vignettes available online? If so, where are they? If not, is it feasible to make them available? -- Regards, Richie ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
