Dear Duncan,
OK, my fault. I did not realize that you only refer to r-devel. I found however
a way for standard R by putting this into the Rd file:
\details{
\if{html}{\out{<img src="../doc/image_name.png" alt="image .. should be
here"/>}}\ifelse{latex}{}{}
}
And saving the figure in inst/doc.
Now I just need to find a way to get Inlinedocs to pass this code from the
sourcecode of the function directly into the Rd files but I am sure some
googeling will help me :-).
Thanks again for the help!
Jannis
