Thanks Sean, in fact I had already bumped into this very useful post.

I tried to make the changes you suggested, yet the html file is not built
as it should.

Any pointers to public code for packages with successful automated builds
of html vignettes from Rmd ?

The current version of my package vignette is in:
https://github.com/microbiome/microbiome/blob/master/vignettes/vignette.Rmd
For some reason the html file fails to build during package build as it
should.
