lazy.file.start(docClass = "article", packages = NULL, counters = NULL,
  layout = "", page = "arabic", ligatures = TRUE, title = NULL,
  author = NULL, date = "", initialize = TRUE)

`docClass`	a character string giving a valid LaTeX document class. For example, `article`, `slide`, `report`, `book`
`packages`	A character vector of additional LaTeX packages to use
`counters`	A character vector of additional counters to initialize
`layout`	LaTeX code for page layout. Remember to escape backslashes!
`page`	A character string denoting the page numbering style. Options are `"arabic", "roman", "Roman", "alph", "Alph"`.
`ligatures`	Determines if ligatures are enabled. See the references for a link about ligatures
`title`	A title for the document
`author`	Author of the document
`date`	Date to be printed on the title page
`initialize`	For HTML and markdow files and when `TRUE`, the function `lazy.options` is called and all of the counters are reset to 1. Font, family, and size defaults are also reset

Titles are only made when either title or author are not NULL.

Packages automatically included are "xcolor", "graphicx", "colortbl", "float", "soul", "hyperref", "placeins", and "Sweave". Any user defined templates made in conjuction with lazyWeave must include these packages in order to use figures and underlined text.

With page, the options produce the following:

arabic	Arabic numbers
roman	Lower case roman numerals (i, ii, iii, ...)
Roman	Upper case roman numerals (I, II, III, ...)
alph	Lower case alphabetic ordering (a, b, c, ...)
Alph	Upper case alphabetic ordering (A, B, C, ...)

#* lazy.file.start does not currently work with markdown documents
#* First, we set the lazyReportFormat option to "latex"
orig_option <- getOption("lazyReportFormat")
options(lazyReportFormat="latex")
lazy.file.start(docClass="report", 
  packages=c("pslatex", "palatino", "avant"),
  title="Report Name", author="Your Name")
 
#* Return the original option setting
