\title{Create a vignette or article}
\usage{
use_vignette(name, title = NULL)
use_article(name, title = NULL)
}
\arguments{
\item{name}{File name to use for new vignette. Should consist only of
numbers, letters, \verb{_} and \code{-}. Lower case is recommended. Can include the
\code{".Rmd"} or \code{".qmd"} file extension, which also dictates whether to place
an R Markdown or Quarto vignette. R Markdown (\code{".Rmd"}) is the current
default, but it is anticipated that Quarto (\code{".qmd"}) will become the
default in the future.}
\item{title}{The title of the vignette. If not provided, a title is generated
from \code{name}.}
}
\description{
Creates a new vignette or article in \verb{vignettes/}. Articles are a special
type of vignette that appear on pkgdown websites, but are not included
in the package itself (because they are added to \code{.Rbuildignore}
automatically).
}
\section{General setup}{
\itemize{
\item Adds needed packages to \code{DESCRIPTION}.
\item Adds \code{inst/doc} to \code{.gitignore} so built vignettes aren't tracked.
\item Adds \verb{vignettes/*.html} and \verb{vignettes/*.R} to \code{.gitignore} so
you never accidentally track rendered vignettes.
\item For \verb{*.qmd}, adds Quarto-related patterns to \code{.gitignore} and
\code{.Rbuildignore}.
}
}
