R: Compile LaTeX Files

texi2dvi {tools}

R Documentation

Compile LaTeX Files

Description

Run latex and bibtex until all cross-references are resolved and create either a dvi or PDF file.

Usage

texi2dvi(file, pdf = FALSE, clean = FALSE, quiet = TRUE,
         texi2dvi = getOption("texi2dvi"))

Arguments

file

character. Name of TeX source file.

pdf

logical. If TRUE, a PDF file is produced insted of the default dvi file (texi2dvi command line option --pdf).

clean

logical. If TRUE, all auxiliary files are removed (texi2dvi command line option --clean). Does not work on some platforms.

quiet

logical. No output unless an error occurs.

texi2dvi

character (or NULL). Script or program used to compile a TeX file to dvi or PDF, respectively. If set to NULL, the ‘texi2dvi’ script in R's ‘bin’ directory is used (if it exists), otherwise it is assumed that texi2dvi is in the search path.

Details

Some TeX installations on Windows do not have ‘texi2dvi.exe’. If ‘texify.exe’ is present (e.g., part of MikTeX), then it can be used instead: set options(texi2dvi="texify.exe") or to the full path of the program.
