How can we program statet to use both knitr and pdflatex

In the new version of statet4.0, I would like to find a way to configure sweave to run with both knitr and pdflatex.

In external tool configuration > sweave Document processing there an example of using tools::texi2dvi(file= "${resource_loc}", pdf= TRUE) how should I configure to use pdflatex ?

Solution

  • Latex document

    I've set R Weave configuration to produce a tex (not .texjust tex) R Weave configuration Then I've used 

    system2(command='pdflatex', args=c('-interaction=nonstopmode','-synctex=1','${resource_loc}')).

    Here I've tried without success to set an stdin and stout argument but there might be a problem under windows as pointed out there : https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/issues/2446. In the end putting the path to the file ${resource.loc} as the last argument works well.
