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 LaTeX source file.
pdf logical. If TRUE, a PDF file is produced instead of the default dvi file (texi2dvi command line option --pdf).
clean logical. If TRUE, all auxiliary files are removed (texi2dvi command line option --clean). May 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. The default (selected by NULL) is to look for an executable on the search path and otherwise emulate the script with system calls.

Details

Despite the name, this is used in R to compile LaTeX files, specifically those generated from vignettes.
