As mentioned in this card on the project board, a NOTE is generated about directory sizes when the package is checked or built.

The doc directory is automatically created and filled with the vignette output (see this image from http://r-pkgs.had.co.nz/package.html.

There might be scope to optimise the file size of images in vignettes/images using a tool called pngcrush.

Thanks for looking into this. I will look into your proposed fix.
But that leaves the question of what to do, long term, with vignettes. My goal is to convert all of the code in my book to vignettes as, in my opinion, that is the best way of conveying the ideas. But that would lead to a much larger file size in doc. One idea: separate website using pkgdown::build-site.
