Good that you mention this restriction, this makes me understand my new problem. With his new version of AlgDesign, Bob Wheeler has made the file AlgDesign.pdf into a vignette which is no longer located in the doc directory but now in inst/doc. A link to that file from within my documentation does not work any longer. Would it be possible to include the directory inst/doc into the special cases to which linking is permitted ?
