Aaarrgghh. Now you've got me worried again. I'll give it a try, though, and see what disasters befall me! :-) cheers, Rolf -- Honorary Research Fellow Department of Statistics University of Auckland Phone: +64-9-373-7599 ext. 88276 __ R-package-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-package-devel

Well I guess it's not opaque when you are sufficiently comfortable with
what you are doing. But when every thing is
bewilderingly arcane it is difficult to sift out the few simple things
that actually are comprehensible.

It turned out that I had \usepackage{wasysym} in the preamble. I guess
it got there because I copied a prototype from somewhere ... long ago,
to use in another package that I maintain. Then I copied the *.Rmw
file over from that other package and modified it, not changing those
things about which I hadn't a clue --- like wasysym. I first
tried \usepackage[nointegrals]{wasysym} as suggested at the URL that
you pointed me to, and that worked fine. Then I tried commenting
it out completely and that worked fine too. So I never needed wasysym
in the first place. But there are so *many* bits and pieces that it is
impossible to tell what is needed and what isn't.
Anyhow, I seem to be good to go now. Thanks.
cheers,
Rolf

Hi Rolf,

The LaTeX code involves the use of the align* environment from the

a corresponding *.tex file, but then when I run pdflatex on that file
I get an error:

Shouldn't be; the amsmath package defines \iint, and the error message

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/356599/command-iint-already-defined
If I don't have \usepackage{amsmath} in the *.Rnw file, I get
(unsurprisingly) an error message to the effect that the align*
environment is undefined.
Is there any way to make use of amsmath facilities in a vignette?
Absolutely, I am doing it with no problem. I have in one preamble
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}
% \VignetteIndexEntry{Parametric duration models}
\newcommand{\btheta}{{\ensuremath{\boldsymbol{\theta
\newcommand{\bbeta}{{\ensuremath{\boldsymbol{\beta
\newcommand{\bz}{\ensuremath{\mathbf{z}}}
and so forth
Alternatively, is there any way to simply use the pdf output
obtained by processing an ordinary LaTeX file as a vignette? I have
done a bit of web searching on this, but all of the hits that I get
seem to be substantially out of date. They refer to putting
vignettes in /inst/doc and I'm pretty sure that this is no longer how
it's done. (But I find all of the vignette business rather
bewildering and confusing.)
Grateful for any advice.
Have you read the "Writing R Extensions"? There 'inst/doc' is mentioned
under 'Non-Sweave vignettes'.
Best, Göran Broström

Re: [R-pkg-devel] Using the amsmath package in a vignette.
As I read the docs (a few months ago though), you are supposed to include
the pdf and encouraged to include sources, but the process to get pdf from
source may depend on your private libraries/data/software, and is not
replicated on CRAN checks. This seemed to work for me as my vignette
includes a less common .bst. I sort of remember receiving errors about
missing .bst from rhub, but it definitely ran on CRAN with no red flags
raised.

Re: [R-pkg-devel] Using the amsmath package in a vignette.
The R.rsp has a vignette engine for plain LaTeX sources. See
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/R.rsp/vignettes/R_packages-LaTeX_vignettes.pdf
for how. It's straightforward. Maybe that helps.

[R-pkg-devel] Using the amsmath package in a vignette.
I am trying to create a vignette in a package (basically just using
LaTeX code; no R calculations or data are involved).
The LaTeX code involves the use of the align* environment from
the amsmath package. When I try to run Sweave() on the *.Rnw file
I get a corresponding *.tex file, but then when I run pdflatex on
that file I get an error:
> ! LaTeX Error: Command \iint already defined.
>Or name \end... illegal, see p.192 of the manual.

which is completely opaque to me.
If I don't have \usepackage{amsmath} in the *.Rnw file, I get
(unsurprisingly) an error message to the effect that the align*
environment is undefined.
Is there any way to make use of amsmath facilities in a vignette?
Alternatively, is there any way to simply use the pdf output obtained
by processing an ordinary LaTeX file as a vignette? I have done a

/inst/doc and I'm pretty sure that this is no longer how it's done.
