[Bioc-devel] vignette metadata dissapeared in Sweave/PDF vignettes

[Robert Castelo]

hi,

I have noticed that in the recent release of BioC the vignettes produced 
as Sweave/PDF documents do not show anymore the metadata written using 
%\VignetteIndexEntry{}, while this seems to work fine with the HTML 
vignettes.

compare for instance the vignette metadata in the landing pages of the 
latest release 3.3 of:

http://bioconductor.org/packages/VariantFiltering
http://bioconductor.org/packages/qpgraph

with the previous release 3.2:

http://bioconductor.org/packages/3.2/bioc/html/VariantFiltering.html
http://bioconductor.org/packages/3.2/bioc/html/qpgraph.html

while HTML vignettes do not seem to have this problem, see for instance:

http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/BiocStyle.html
http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/AnnotationHub.html

according to the current "Writing R Extentions" manual, this kind of 
metadata line is still valid in latex, and the local HTML landing page 
of vignettes via browseVignettes() shows that metadata. so i guess this 
must be an issue to resolve on the BioC website.


cheers,

robert.
