How can I write an index file with a pointer to my pdf? Should I provide a code snippet to run system(paste(getOption("pdfviewer"), system.file("doc/my.pdf", package="mypackage"), "&"))? Perhaps my problem is thinking of a vignette as a "A brief verbal description of a person, place, etc.; a short descriptive or evocative episode in a play, etc." rather than a Sweave document. > I am not aware of any other sort of `package help index', although one > could arge the toss about Compiled HTML. What about (eg.) help(package=grid)? This is where vignettes are listed by name (and location). I would like to be able put my pdf into a similar list.
