Dear helpers,
I have multiple vignette files for a package, and I would like to have the
"right" order of these files when displayed online. For instance, see below:
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/bst/index.html
The order of vignette links on CRAN is different from what I hoped for:
> vignette(package="bst")
Vignettes in package 'bst':
pros Cancer Classification Using Mass
Spectrometry-based Proteomics Data (source,
pdf)
static_khan Classification of Cancer Types Using Gene
Expression Data (Long) (source, pdf)
khan Classification of Cancer Types Using Gene
Expression Data (Short) (source, pdf)
static_mcl Classification of UCI Machine Learning Datasets
(Long) (source, pdf)
mcl Classification of UCI Machine Learning Datasets
(Short) (source, pdf)
The package bst already has an index.html, and I thought that should have done
the job, but apparently not. Any suggestions?
The index.html file should be used in the online help system, but
vignette() doesn't use that, it looks in the internal database of
vignettes. I don't think you can control the order in which it displays
things.
This could conceivably be changed, but not by consulting your index.html
file --- it is not required to follow a particular structure, so we
can't find what order you want from it. One more likely possibility
would be to sort alphabetically in the current locale according to
filename or vignette title. So then you could get what you want by
naming your vignettes 1pros, 2static_khan, etc.
It would also be possible to add a new \VignetteXXXX directive so affect
collation order, but that seems like overkill.
