#' Prettify LaTeX
#' @description Prettify LaTeX code, including Sweave code, \code{sty} files,
#'   \code{cls} files, and \code{bib} files.
#'
#' @param contents the code to be prettified; there are three possibilities for
#'   this argument:
#'   \code{NA} (default), to use the file currently opened in RStudio;
#'   the path to a file;
#'   or the code given as a character vector
#' @param tabSize number of spaces of the indentation (usually \code{2} or
#'   \code{4});
#'   if \code{NULL} (the default), there are two possibilities:
#'   if the contents is read from the current file in RStudio, then the
#'   number of spaces will be the one you use in RStudio;
#'   otherwise it is set to \code{2}
#' @param log logical, whether to generate a log file (it will be named
#'   \code{indent.log})
#'
#' @return The pretty code in a character string.
#'
#' @note This function requires the command line utility \code{latexindent}.
#'
#' @importFrom rstudioapi isAvailable
#' @importFrom tools file_ext
#' @export
