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.
