I agree with Søren that this is not the right list, but to complete the 
thread...

See the examples in

?vignette

start just above

## Now let us have a closer look at the code

All vignette's are compiled.  You can trivially extract all the code 
used for any vignette in R, including any code not displayed in the text 
and hidden from the user, from within R, or saved out to an editor so 
you can source it line by line from Rstudio (or vim or emacs or...). 
That's the whole point.

Regards,

Brian
