knit2pdf: Convert Rnw or Rrst files to PDF using knit() and texi2pdf() or rst2pdf()

Description

Knit the input Rnw or Rrst document, and compile to PDF using texi2pdf or rst2pdf.

Usage

knit2pdf(input, output = NULL, compiler = NULL, envir = parent.frame(), quiet = FALSE, 
    encoding = getOption("encoding"), ...)

Arguments

input

path of the input file

output

path of the output file for knit(); if NULL, this function will try to guess and it will be under the current working directory

compiler

a character string which gives the LaTeX program used to compile the tex document to PDF (by default it uses the default setting of texi2pdf, which is often PDFLaTeX); this argument will be used to temporarily set the environmental variable PDFLATEX. For an Rrst file, setting compiler to 'rst2pdf' will use rst2pdf to compiles the rst file to PDF using the ReportLab open-source library.

envir

the environment in which the code chunks are to be evaluated (for example, parent.frame(), new.env(), or globalenv())

quiet

whether to suppress the progress bar and messages

encoding

the encoding of the input file; see file

...

options to be passed to texi2pdf or rst2pdf

Value

The filename of the PDF file.
