Thanks for the detailed investigation and analysis, Ivan. For now, I've
followed your suggestion and added the option `self_contained: false`. The
revised package is now on CRAN, and you are correct that css files are no
longer contained for the version sitting on CRAN, so the vignette is less
pretty looking. I'll investigate if there are any other workarounds.

Your assistance is much appreciated.
