Subject: [Bioc-devel] BioC 2.5: link to package index now marked as
"Missing"
Here's a Rd link which has worked for many years in the html and chm
help
pages, and still works fine in R 2.10.10:
\link[limma:00Index]{LIMMA contents page}
Despite working fine, this is now flagged in R 2.10.0 cmd check as a
"Missing" link.
I understand that this is not an officially supported style of link,
yet
it seemed useful.
I second that - I've been advocating for a mechanism to navigate to the 00Index page (I'd really like to see
?limma::
or some such incantation go to the limma:00Index page from the command line) Getting to the 00Index page is tremendously useful when you can't remember a command name, or its exact spelling, in a package. Can we evolve past the missing link?!? (I will send in patch suggestions if R-core will commit to such a desired feature.)

Must it be removed now for BioC 2.5? Regards Gordon
