Yeah, I agree that it would be the best to have something similar in base R. Short of that, we could have a short piece of code that you could just insert into your package, and it would declare the itself as vignette builder, which just does the copying. G. On Tue, Jan 21, 2020 at 5:30 PM

The R.rsp::asis and R.rsp::tex could easily be pulled out from R.rsp in a standalone package with zero dependencies. However, it would be better if they could be brought into the 'tools' package. This is why I never went down the path or making a standalone package (adding yet another package to

Absolutely right Gabor. Thanks for suggestion Henrik. I tried to put the PDF directly in /inst/doc but apparently content is overwritten during vignettes generation, although there exists no name clash. Will probably have to try R.rsp! Le mar. 21 janv. 2020 à 17:32, Gábor Csárdi a écrit : >

Right. Then you _only_ need to install about 5 GBs of software to copy a PDF file. :/ I guess if you already have LaTeX and you are sure that it will not mess up your PDF, then this is another solution. Gabor On Tue, Jan 21, 2020 at 4:58 PM Ralf Stubner wrote: [...] > One can use a Sweave

It sounds like you want the PDF to have it appear as a package vignette. You can use the R.rsp::asis vignette engine (https://cran.r-project.org/package=R.rsp) to add static PDFs as vignettes to your package. The PDF is included as-is during the package *build* process (R CMD build) like other

Dear Neonira, as Thierry said, the inst folder serves that purpose. To be a bit more specific: any documentation you provide that doesn't need building, goes in the inst/doc folder. That's also where R CMD build creates the output of vignettes created with Sweave or knitr. You find more

I create a cheat sheet using MS-OFFICE and converted it at a PDF format. I wonder in which folder of my package I should place it to be installed with the package. I tried instinctively in vignettes, but it doesn't seem to work correctly, as I do not find it back in my package installation
