latexmk

From tinytex v0.0.2 by Yihui Xie

Compile a LaTeX document to PDF

The function latexmk() uses the system command latexmk to compile a LaTeX document to PDF; if latexmk is not available, use a simple emulation. The functions pdflatex(), xelatex(), and lualatex() are wrappers of latexmk(engine =, emulation = TRUE).

Usage

latexmk(file, engine = c("pdflatex", "xelatex", "lualatex"), bib_engine = c("bibtex", 
    "biber"), emulation = TRUE, times = 2, install_packages = emulation && 
    tlmgr_available())
pdflatex(...)
xelatex(...)
lualatex(...)

Arguments

file: A LaTeX file path.
engine: A LaTeX engine.
bib_engine: A bibliography engine.
emulation: Whether to use latexmk emulation (by default, TRUE if the command latexmk is not available). You can set the global option options(tinytex.latexmk.emulation = TRUE) to always use emulation.
times: The number of times to run the LaTeX engine when using emulation. You can set the global option tinytex.compile.times, e.g., options(tinytex.compile.times = 3).
install_packages: Whether to automatically install missing LaTeX packages found by find_packages() from the LaTeX log. This argument is only for the emulation mode and TeX Live.
...: Arguments to be passed to latexmk() (other than engine and emulation).

Details

The latexmk emulation works like this: run the LaTeX engine once (e.g., pdflatex), run makeindex to make the index if necessary (the *.idx file exists), run the bibliography engine bibtex or biber to make the bibliography if necessary (the *.aux or *.bcf file exists), and finally run the LaTeX engine a number of times (twice by default).
