Run latex/pdflatex, makeindex and bibtex
until all cross-references are resolved to create a dvi or a PDF file.
texi2dvi(file, pdf = FALSE, clean = FALSE, quiet = TRUE,
texi2dvi = getOption("texi2dvi"),
texinputs = NULL, index = TRUE)texi2pdf(file, clean = FALSE, quiet = TRUE,
texi2dvi = getOption("texi2dvi"),
texinputs = NULL, index = TRUE)
character string. Name of the LaTeX source file.
logical. If TRUE, a PDF file is produced instead of
the default dvi file (texi2dvi command line option --pdf).
logical. If TRUE, all auxiliary files created
during the conversion are removed.
logical. No output unless an error occurs.
character string (or NULL). Script or program
used to compile a TeX file to dvi or PDF. The default (selected
by "" or "texi2dvi" or NULL) is to look
for a program or script named texi2dvi on the path and
otherwise emulate the script with system2 calls (which
can be selected by the value "emulation"). See also
‘Details’.
NULL or a character vector of paths to add to
the LaTeX and bibtex input search paths.
logical: should indices be prepared?
Invisible NULL. Used for the side effect of creating a dvi or
PDF file in the current working directory (and maybe other files,
especially if clean = FALSE).
texi2pdf is a wrapper for the common case of
texi2dvi(pdf = TRUE).
Despite the name, this is used in R to compile LaTeX files,
specifically those generated from vignettes and by the
Rd2pdf script (used for package reference manuals). It
ensures that the R_HOME/share/texmf directory is
in the TEXINPUTS path, so R style files such as Sweave
and Rd will be found. The TeX search path used is first the
existing TEXINPUTS setting (or the current directory if unset),
then elements of argument texinputs, then
R_HOME/share/texmf and finally the default path.
Analogous changes are made to BIBINPUTS and BSTINPUTS
settings.
The default option for texi2dvi is set from environment variable
R_TEXI2DVICMD, and the default for that is set from environment
variable TEXI2DVI or if that is unset, from a value chosen when
R is configured.
A shell script texi2dvi is part of GNU's texinfo.
Several issues have been seen with released versions, so if yours does
not work correctly try R_TEXI2DVICMD=emulation.
On Windows the option "texi2dvi" is normally unset. The MiKTeX
command texify.exe is a suitable choice for texi2dvi,
and is tried as from R 3.2.3 if the argument is blank or NULL
and a program or script texi2dvi is not found.
MiKTeX had a texi2dvi executable until Sept 2015, but no other
Windows TeX installation that we know of does, so emulation is used on
e.g.TeXLive installations on Windows.
Occasionally indices contain special characters which cause indexing
to fail (particularly when using the hyperref LaTeX package)
even on valid input. The argument index = FALSE is provided to
allow package manuals to be made when this happens: it uses emulation.
