Title
Body
I want to include a pre-compiled PDF as a vignette in a R package. The PDF is not generated via Sweave. Without a .Rnw to process, there is no \VignetteIndexEntry to cause the usual automatic generation of index.html and Meta/vignette.rds . I created an index.html in inst/doc that is copied into doc during installation. This is corrected linked from the main package help page. However, when I load the package and execute browseVignettes("MyPackage") , I get No vignettes found by browseVignettes("MyPackage") This makes sense, because R apparently has no way to know that the package has a vignette. The installed package has no Meta/vignette.rds file. Can I somehow get my PDF to appear with browseVignettes() ? pdfpages I'm familiar with the approach taken by the mosaic package , which is to use pdfpages to include the entire PDF. While clever, I feel like there should be a better way that avoids the proliferation of files.
