-## Resubmission
+## Comments
 
-As requested the DESCRIPTION now contains a reference for the Plackett-Luce model.
+This update addresses the warnings caused by not using Suggests 
+conditionally (specifically relying on Biostyle for the vignette).

-## Comments
-
-On Mac/Ubuntu, R CMD check only returns note that this is a new submission.
-
-On Windows, R CMD check returns the same note in the log, however in the terminal there is the following warning:
-
-   * checking CRAN incoming feasibility ...Warning: running command '"pandoc" "C:\Users\hturner\PlackettLuce.Rcheck\00_pkg_src\PlackettLuce\README.md" -s --email-obfuscation=references --self-contained -o "C:\Users\hturner\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpyQZw3Z\READMEcf025d05abf.html"' had status 99
-
-The warning seems to be due to pandoc not finding image files in `man/figures`. I could successfully run the pandoc command by either changing directory to "C:\Users\hturner\PlackettLuce.Rcheck\00_pkg_src\PlackettLuce" and calling pandoc on "README.md", or adding `--resource-path "C:\Users\hturner\PlackettLuce.Rcheck\00_pkg_src\PlackettLuce` to the call shown in the warning.
