Things may have changed since Henrik and I wrote the code, but his
description matches my understanding as well (and I think he's
contributed more recently than I have).
The way non-Sweave vignettes work is that some packages register
themselves to recognize vignette files in the vignettes directory. The
default one recognizes .Rnw files as vignettes (and a few other
extensions too); the knitr::rmarkdown one recognizes .Rmd files and some
others. The only way for a package's registration code to be called is
for it to be listed as a VignetteBuilder. See ?tools::vignetteEngine
for details of the engine.
Can one of you please fix WRE then? The part that says
"...then knitr provides the engine but both knitr and rmarkdown are
needed for using it, so both these packages need to be in the
‘VignetteBuilder’ field..."
No, neither of us are members of R Core. Only R Core can edit the manuals.
