Hello,
I'm trying to submit a new version of a package to CRAN. Among the
additions is an RMarkdown vignette that uses data from a website that is
no longer active. For completeness, i'd still like to cite the invalid
URL, but without formatting it as a hyperlink. What is the preferred way
to do this?
One StackExchange answer is to surround the URL with <span></span>, but
this did not remove the hyperlink when i rendered the vignette locally.
Instead, i surrounded it with back-ticks, which works locally, but i've
been unable to run Win-Builder checks to see whether this prevents the
"invalid URLs" NOTE. And, even if the NOTE is prevented, i'm not sure
this is preferred.
Why not leave off the scheme, e.g. "www.r-project.org" instead of
"https://www.r-project.org";.
