Hi, I'm planning on switching some vignettes to BiocStyle (html version). Is there any particular reason why the html vignette for BiocStyle is outside of the /vignettes directory? I see it at /inst/rmarkdown/templates/html_document/skeleton/skeleton.Rmd with /vignettes/HtmlStyle.Rmd linking to it. I didn't know that you could write such links, thanks! But does it help with speeding up the building or testing steps if the vignette is outside of /vignettes? BiocCheck has its vignette at /vignettes/BiocCheck.Rmd so I know that such a setup is not necessary. Currently, one of my vignettes takes a few min to render, which is why I followed ggbio's setup: fake empty vignettes + real ones and a Makefile making sure the correct vignette gets built. I thought that this trick saved time in R CMD check. I looked at "Writing R Extensions" and I think that such a trick only saves time when you run R CMD check on the source directory instead of the tarball created by R CMD build. So unless I'm forgetting something, this trick doesn't seem necessary at all given that Bioconductor runs build and then check (with --no-vignettes) on the tarball. Right? I guess that it was useful for me before when I would run lots of checks directly on the source code directory instead of building and checking. Thanks, Leo
