No worries - I just wanted to clarify. I second your wishlist. FYI, you can achieve some automation by using inst/doc/Makefile that processes your own inst/doc/00Index.dcf file. You'll still need some kind of index.html template though. (In the R.rsp package I'm using an index.html.rsp template this way). /H > > Regards, > Yihui > -- > Yihui Xie <xieyi...@gmail.com> > Phone: 515-294-2465 Web: http://yihui.name > Department of Statistics, Iowa State University > 2215 Snedecor Hall, Ames, IA > > > > On Sun, Nov 6, 2011 at 7:51 PM, Henrik Bengtsson <h...@biostat.ucsf.edu> > wrote: >> Hi. >> >> On Sun, Nov 6, 2011 at 5:14 PM, Yihui Xie <x...@yihui.name> wrote: >>> I have the same question.
