See Function promptPackage() and http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-exts.html#Rd-format section 2.1.4 fpr writing Rd files for packages. I just did it first time for my package caMassClass, so you can see the results in its pdf file.
Jarek Tuszynski -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of William Asquith Sent: Sunday, April 30, 2006 10:00 AM To: R-Help Subject: [R] Package docs for CRAN CRAN et al., I would like to add an extented introduction or other arbitrary sections to my package lmomco. I have been shipping inst/doc/Introduction.Rd. I would like to have this content inserted to the front of the PDF build for the CRAN. The R-exts.pdf seems to be a little silent on this subject? For my purposes, I have been doing this R CMD Rd2dvi --pdf --title="lmomco---version X" inst/doc/ Introduction.Rd man/*.Rd but I don't get the correct header (description) or the index built as seen in the lmomco.pdf from the CRAN. Further, is there any point in shipping a complete PDF build of the docs as in inst/doc/lmomco.pdf? Please advise on best practices for building the best docs that I can. . .
