Hello, It's better to get rid of this NOTE, by listing bookdown in VignetteBuilder and Suggests, not Imports see https://blog.r-hub.io/2020/06/03/vignettes/#infrastructure--dependencies-for-vignettes That's actually what you did in...

Hello, I don't think you have to (and shouldn't?) document raw data. However, you can use it in examples/tests/etc. using the system.file() command you mention. But maybe you want to export the data? In that...
