Builds package vignettes using the same algorithm that R CMD build
does. This means including non-Sweave vignettes, using makefiles (if
present), and copying over extra files. The files are copied in the 'doc'
directory and an vignette index is created in 'Meta/vignette.rds', as they
would be in a built package. 'doc' and 'Meta' are added to
.Rbuildignore, so will not be included in the built package. These
files can be checked into version control, so they can be viewed with
browseVignettes() and vignette() if the package has been
loaded with load_all() without needing to re-build them locally.
build_vignettes(pkg = ".", dependencies = "VignetteBuilder",
clean = TRUE, upgrade = "never", quiet = TRUE, install = TRUE,
keep_md = TRUE)package description, can be path or package name. See
as.package() for more information
Which dependencies do you want to check? Can be a character vector (selecting from "Depends", "Imports", "LinkingTo", "Suggests", or "Enhances"), or a logical vector.
TRUE is shorthand for "Depends", "Imports", "LinkingTo" and
"Suggests". NA is shorthand for "Depends", "Imports" and "LinkingTo"
and is the default. FALSE is shorthand for no dependencies (i.e.
just check this package, not its dependencies).
Remove all files generated by the build, even if there were copies there before.
One of "default", "ask", "always", or "never". "default"
respects the value of the R_REMOTES_UPGRADE environment variable if set,
and falls back to "ask" if unset. "ask" prompts the user for which out of
date packages to upgrade. For non-interactive sessions "ask" is equivalent
to "always". TRUE and FALSE are also accepted and correspond to
"always" and "never" respectively.
If TRUE, suppresses most output. Set to FALSE
if you need to debug.
If TRUE, install the package before building
vignettes.
If TRUE, move md intermediates as well as rendered
outputs. Most useful when using the keep_md YAML option for Rmarkdown
outputs. See
https://bookdown.org/yihui/rmarkdown/html-document.html#keeping-markdown.
