The filename and (optional) path of the LaTeX document to be compiled. Only *.tex and *.ltx filename extensions are allowed.

.
Value

Supported filename extensions
Internally texi2dvi
is used, which in turn uses
Sys.which("texi2dvi")
if available. Most known implementation
of the latter will only recognize LaTeX documents with filename
extensions *.tex and *.ltx (case sensitive). (Any other filenames
will be compiled with 'texinfo', which is not a LaTeX compiler.)
