Dear useRs, this week we have released a new version (1.9) of the "exams" package which now contains flexible tools for generating e-learning exams for various learning management systems: As in earlier versions of the package exam generation is still based on separate Sweave files for each exercise. But rather than just producing different types of PDF output files, the package can

Hello, I am trying to use the package "exams" to construct problem sets. I have constructed an exercise which generates a list of integers and asks the student to compute the median. rx is the vector of n numbers >str(rx) num [1:16] 21 9 8 18 4 12 17 2 9 7 ... I want to print out the entire vector as part of the problem. When I use \Sexpr(rx) only the first value (in this case

I am trying to pass a additional argument to texi2dvi, for example to use the aux-directory. Looks like this is not possible via options: options(texi2dvi='texi2dvi --tex-option="-aux-directory=auxdir"') texi2dvi(file = "GBPL3.tex", pdf = TRUE) #Error in system(paste(shQuote(texi2dvi), "--version"), intern = TRUE) : # '"texi2dvi

Hello, I am trying to call texi2dvi on a very simple tex-file (see below) and it fails with a memory access error. I originally tried to call it on another, meaningful tex file with the same error occuring. I am attaching a screenshot. Thank you very much for your help.

Hmm, look in MkRules.dist for the setting you failed to make .... Obviously available in R-patched and R-devel only as we cannot foretell such changes.

MiKTeX has abruptly removed texi2dvi.exe from its distribution. (MiKTeX broke its updating process earlier and an attempted update trashed the updater on my installation so I was forced to make a fresh install of the current distribution. I do not know if updates remove a currently installed texi2dvi.exe.) This has two consequences: 1) It is used by tools::texi2dvi() if found. As far as I

L.S. I noticed weird tools::texi2dvi behaviour on R-alpha when specifying an absolute path to the .tex file. The same phenomenon also appears to occur on R-2.12.2, so maybe the issue is independent of R. I hope I did not overlook any important information.

Hello everybody I'm am trying to build a pdf out of the Rd files that i wrote for a package, so that I can attach it to my thesis. if i Run Rd2pdf (or Rd2dvi) I get this error massage: Hmm ... looks like a package Converting Rd files to LaTeX . Creating pdf output from LaTeX ... Error in texi2dvi("Rd2.tex", pdf = (out_ext == "pdf"), quiet = FALSE, : Running

Dear expeRts, below are two examples of using texi2dvi. The problem becomes clear from the second example: on cleaning, texi2dvi also deletes the generated .pdf file. Is there a solution? Cheers, Marius ## Example 1: texi2dvi cleans fine, without deleting the generated .pdf require(tools) sink(file="myLaTeXFile1.tex") cat("\\documentclass{article}\n")

According to the MikTex bug reports [1], MikTex 2.9 has removed texi2dvi.exe last week (on 2015-09-29) as "it was not compatible (anymore) with the original shell script texi2dvi (GNU Texinfo)." I found this out the hard way as I just (unknowingly) updated MikTex this evening, and then, while building R-devel_2015-10-08 on Windows7 64bit using the Rtools 3.3 toolchain (4.9.3 branch), had

Dear all, I was hoping someone may know a way of running texi2dvi while ignoring bibtex errors, or any other work around (such as not running bibtex at all, if possible). The context is that I have an R program that does some calculations and writes a table into various folders, one per country for several countries. I have a latex file that takes the table as an input, and this latex file is

Dear lists: I am somewhat puzzled by the use of texi2dvi/pdflatex in R2.7.0. When building EBImage (bioconductor) with 2.7.0 I get the same error both in Windows and Linux, which reads the following: ** building package indices ... * DONE (EBImage) * creating vignettes ... ERROR /usr/bin/texi2dvi: pdflatex exited with bad status, quitting. Error in texi2dvi(file = bft, pdf = TRUE, clean =

I am currently writing a (private) package in which I produce pdf files from within R using LaTeX. To do so I mainly copied some lines from the buildVignettes() function in the tools package. This uses the texi2dvi which is included in R's bin directory: system(paste(file.path(R.home(), "bin", "texi2dvi"), "--quiet --pdf", bft)) This runs
