Hi R-devels,
would it be possible to enhance either promptPackage()
or the default indexing mechanism for packages
so that -- if it exists -- (the contents of) file
<pkgname>-package.Rd is sorted first in
* the .dvi / .pdf documentation file
* the .chm documentation file
* the package 00index.html documentation file
?
So far I found the following "hand-made" solution for me:
(1) rename the <pkgname>-package.Rd file to, say,
0<pkgname>-package.Rd
(2) change the \name -field to
\name{(<pkgname>-package)}
(note the parentheses in order to sort this file before
any operators like "+", "-" etc..)
This is probably not quite the way it should be, but
at least it works under my standard-settings.
A more refined strategy would probably also take
into account something like a Collate field in
the DESCRIPTION field.
What is the opinion of R-Core to this question?
Thank you already
Peter
