texi2dvi                package: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 do not have 'texi2dvi.exe'.  If
     'texify.exe' is present, then it can be  used instead: set
     'options(texi2dvi="texify.exe")' or to the full path of the
     program.
