[R-pkg-devel] URL of a frame (or a vignette)?

[Spencer Graves]

       I just learned that finding the package on "rdocumentation.org", 
then clicking on the vignette I want at the end of the page, "bssm.Rmd", 
gave me a URL that is portable, at least for the moment:


https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/bssm/versions/0.1.7/vignettes/bssm.Rmd


       This seems less likely to be trapped by CRAN checks unless it 
actually stops working ;-)


       Thanks to all who replied to my question.
       Spencer
