Find a slide set across all lectures — find_slide

Lectures need to be stored locally in the current directory with regular names like lecture_i2ml. It is strongly assumed that slide names such as slides-cart-predictions.tex are unique across all lectures.

Usage

find_slide_tex(slide_file, lectures_tbl = NULL)

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.
lectures_tbl: [NULL] Must contain tex column. Will use collect_lectures() if not set and slide_file is not an existing file path.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # fs::dir_exists(here::here("lecture_i2ml"))
# The "normal" way: A .tex file name
str(find_slide_tex(slide_file = "slides-cart-computationalaspects.tex"))

# Also acceptable: A full path (absolute or relative), convenient for scripts
str(find_slide_tex(slide_file = "lecture_i2ml/slides/cart/slides-cart-predictions.tex"))

# Lazy way: No extension, just a name
str(find_slide_tex(slide_file = "slides-cart-predictions"))

# Can also ge tthe .tex file for a .pdf
str(find_slide_tex(slide_file = "slides-cart-predictions.pdf"))
}
