Greetings! I am trying to develop a package for R for Search and Rescue
planning. I'd like to re-use an existing PDF file that was created in emacs
(so I have the .tex and source data) for use in inst/docs. The vignette
sections of the 'Writing r extensions' manual starts off implying that this can
be done, but after lots of effort, I find no way of getting it done. I did
find a suggestion to use a 'dummy' .Rnw file stored alongside the pdf in the
inst/doc folder, but haven't been able to make that work.
Here's the setup data:
Package name: rSARP
directory structure : rSARP/inst/doc
rSARP/inst/extdata
rSARP/man
rSARP/R
Existing pdf manual: rSARP.pdf located in rSARP/inst/doc/ (Its less than 5
meg in size)
VignetteIndexEntry file: rSARP.Rnw located in rSARP/inst/doc/ The
file contents for the dummy .Rnw are:
%\VignetteIndexEntry{User manual}
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\end{document}
I've tried creating an rSARP/vignette folder and storing the .Rnw file there -
no luck.
I appreciate any assistance I can get to incorporate the existing documentation
into the package.
