Add/remove R's texmf tree to/from TeX Live

This tree can be found under the directory file.path(R.home('share'), 'texmf'). This function can be used to add/remove R's texmf tree to/from TeX Live via tlmgr_conf('auxtrees').

Usage

r_texmf(action = c("add", "remove"), ...)

Arguments

action	Add/remove R's texmf tree to/from TeX Live.
