r_texmf

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

Description

R ships a custom texmf tree containing a few LaTeX style and class files, which are required when compiling R packages manuals (‘Rd.sty’) or Sweave documents (‘Sweave.sty’). 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.
`...`	Arguments passed to `tlmgr()`.
