Before vignettes were established as a way to document a package, there were
demos, R files in a `demo/` folder with a `demo/00-Index` file giving their
contents.
Used as `demo(package="...")` this gave a window with a list and titles, and
`demo("example1", package="...") ran `demo/example1.R` in the console.
It was also a good way to give a pointer to something more extensive than you
wanted to include in the examples for a function or dataset.
This idea still works for R packages, but is not available for use in roxygen2
documentation, or pkgdown sites.
I have several packages with collections of demo/ files, and am wondering if
there is anything further I can do with them to make them accessible.
thx,
-Michael
