Dear R-devel,
In a Rd-file I want to link to another package, the whole package,
\link[package_name]{package_name} but I got following warning message:
links are to specific man pages, not to packages, so perhaps you want to link to a page like ?"Biobase-package".
See the information in section 'Cross-references' of the 'Writing R
Extensions' manual.
'Suspect' links are those of the form \link[pkg]{a} where 'a' exists as
an alias but not as a filename -- such links will not work in R <
2.10.0, and only in HTML (not PDF) help in current versions.
if the object 'a' is documented in a man page named a.Rd, then
\link[pkg]{a} works. But if 'a' is documented in a man page named b.Rd,
then you would want \link[pkg:b]{a}. Yes it seems quite bizarre that you
would have to know the structure of pkg's documentation pages. So
\link[Biobase:Biobase-package]{Biobase}
\link[Biobase:class.ExpressionSet]{ExpressionSet}

I check the "Writing R Extensions", and found out that package_name is a alias not a file name. How can I tackle this problem? R version I'm using is: R version 2.10.0 Under development (unstable) (2009-09-10 r49653) Best Regards, Maarten
