[R] linking vignettes in a man page

[Christophe Dutang]

Thanks both to your answer. 

In my case, I link both html and pdf vignetttes with \href, typically  \href{../doc/FAQ.html}{Frequently Asked Questions}.

Maybe Duncan, you could add your answer based on \url{../doc/<name>} and \url{../../<pkg>/help/<alias>} as a complement in Section 2.5 of Writing R extensions?

I spent quite a lot of time searching how to do this.

Regards, Christophe
