Dear developeRs,
I have not found anything recent about how to link to a vignette or
other
documentation from within Rd-files. Is this now possible with the
new
help
system ? For example, I would like to link to the file AlgDesign.pdf
provided within the doc directory of package AlgDesign.
Yes, you can do it with a \url{} macro. Use a relative link, acting
as though the starting page is located in
/library/AlgDesign/html/*. So \url{../doc/AlgDesign.pdf}
should work from the same package,
\url{../../AlgDesign/doc/AlgDesign.pdf} from elsewhere. Please let
me know if this doesn't work, I haven't tested.

Yes, this works, thanks! Is it also possible to display an
alternative text
instead of the URL itself, like with other links (e.g. show text
"Open pdf"
that operates the link) ?

Within the dynamic help, you're also restricted in what files you can
link to: they need to be help pages, or files in the doc directory of a
package, or a few other special cases.

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 ?
When you install the package, the contents of inst/doc would normally be
copied to the doc directory. Can you expand on why that doesn't happen
in your case?
