Dear All, I am considering rewriting the vignette of one BioC package I maintain as Rmd (it is currently Rnw). But I would like that the entry under "Documentation" contain a PDF of the vignette; it can ideally also contain the HTML version too, but I do not want it to not have the PDF[1].
I know I can add entries to the document header such as output: BiocStyle::pdf_document: toc: true BiocStyle::html_document: toc: true that will, when run locally via "render('file.Rmd', output_format = 'all')", produce both formats. I've googled around, but I am not sure about: 1. If I have both output formats specified in the document header, will the BioC page of the package actually show both the PDF and the HTML of the vignette? 2. Is it OK (in conforming with BioC policies, sensible[1], whatever) to even try/want this? My reading of the doc for the BiocStyle (https://www.bioconductor.org/packages/devel/bioc/vignettes/BiocStyle/inst/doc/HtmlStyle.html) seems to suggest that the "natural" thing for Rmd vignettes is to be rendered as HTML, but I have not seen that producing PDF is discouraged explicitly. Best, R. [1] Why do I want to get a PDF if I am using Rmd? I want a PDF because this is a fairly long document that some users want to be able to print. I want HTML because some users prefer HTML and because I'd like to also place the vignette as HTML in Github Pages. I think that the only way to accomplish both is to use Rmd (not Rnw, even if I really, really, prefer LaTeX :-). -- Ramon Diaz-Uriarte Department of Biochemistry, Lab B-25 Facultad de Medicina Universidad Autónoma de Madrid Arzobispo Morcillo, 4 28029 Madrid Spain Phone: +34-91-497-2412 Email: rdia...@gmail.com ramon.d...@iib.uam.es http://ligarto.org/rdiaz _______________________________________________ Bioc-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/bioc-devel
