In nutterb/lazyWeave: LaTeX Wrappers for R Users

Description Usage Arguments Details Author(s)

Executes a command to build a pdf file based on a .tex or .html file. For HTML files, compiles the figure into a subfolder and places all of the contents into a zip file

1 2	lazy.build(filename, pdf.zip = NULL, quiet = TRUE, clean = TRUE, replace = TRUE, ...)

`filename`	Character string giving the location of the file to be built. Usually a .tex or .html file.
`pdf.zip`	filename where the completed document should be saved. Usually a .pdf or .zip file.
`quiet`	Sets the system call flag for a quiet (non-verbose) run.
`clean`	Sets the system call for cleaning up the folder after completion. If `TRUE`, extra files generated during processing will be deleted.
`replace`	when `pdf.zip` is not `NULL`, this determines if the new file will overwrite an existing file.
`...`	Additoinal arguments to be passed to `tools::texi2dvi`

For TEX files, a call is made using tools::texi2dvi to compile a PDF file.

For HTML files, the referenced figures are gathered, copied into a subdirectory and the HTML document and the figures are placed into a zip folder for convenient transfer. All of the image links in the HTML code are modified to reflect the new location. Lastly, a text file is added with instructions for unzipping the files for convenient viewing (but don't worry, no one ever reads this).
