Subject: Package manuals.
When I create a manual for a package that I create and use locally,
e.g. via
R CMD Rd2dvi --pdf foo
where ``foo'' is the name of the directory containing the source for
the package (also named ``foo'') the resulting manual does not appear
to have an index.
The package.pdf files appearing on CRAN all seem to have indices.
What must
I do to get an index appended to the package? Is there some
modification
needed to the ``R CMD Rd2dvi'' incantation, or do I need to proceed in
a different manner entirely? I looked for an answer in ``Writing R
Extensions''
but could not see one.
I also notice an unimportant but mysterious difference in the manual
titles.
The manuals I produce locally (via R CMD Rd2dvi --pdf foo) have
titles of
the form `` Package `foo' ''. Those on CRAN seem to have titles of the
from `` The foo Package''. What induces this difference?
cheers,
Rolf Turner
