Compile a single .tex file

Compile a single .tex file

Usage

compile_slide(
  slide_file,
  pre_clean = TRUE,
  post_clean = FALSE,
  margin = TRUE,
  check_status = TRUE,
  verbose = TRUE,
  log = FALSE,
  method = c("system", "docker", "tinytex"),
  ...
)

Arguments

slide_file

[character(1)] Name of a (single) slide, with or without .tex extension. See examples of find_slide_tex(). Can also be a direct file path to enable use of this function outside rigid folder hierarchy.

pre_clean, post_clean

[TRUE, FALSE]: Run clean_slide() before / after compilation, ensuring a clean slate.

margin

[TRUE] By default renders slides with margin. Otherwise a 4:3 slide is rendered.

check_status

[TRUE]: Wait for latexmk to finish and return the exit status. Not supported for method = "tinytex".

verbose

[TRUE]: Print additional output to the console.

log

[FALSE]: Write stdout and stderr logs to ./logs/. Not supported for method = "tinytex".

method

["system"]: "system" uses latexmk_system(), "docker" uses latexmk_docker(), and "tinytex" uses latexmk_tinytex().

...

For future extension. Currently passed to function invoked via method.

Value

Invisibly: A list with entries

• passed: TRUE indicates a successful compilation, FALSE a failure.

• log: Absolute path to the log file in case of a non-zero exit status.

See also

latexmk_docker() and latexmk_system() for internal compilation methods.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# The "normal" way: A .tex file name
compile_slide("slides-cart-computationalaspects.tex")

# Also acceptable: A full path (absolute or relative), convenient for scripts
compile_slide("lecture_advml/slides/gaussian-processes/slides-gp-bayes-lm.tex")

# Lazy way: No extension, just a name
compile_slide("slides-cart-predictions")
} # }
