Usage

lazy.build(filename, pdf.zip = NULL, quiet = TRUE, clean = TRUE,
  replace = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

Character string giving the location of the file to be built. Usually a .tex or .html file.

pdf.zip

filename where the completed document should be saved. Usually a .pdf or .zip file.

quiet

Sets the system call flag for a quiet (non-verbose) run.

clean

Sets the system call for cleaning up the folder after completion. If TRUE, extra files generated during processing will be deleted.

...

Additoinal arguments to be passed to tools::texi2dvi

Details

For TEX files, a call is made using tools::texi2dvi to compile a PDF file.

For HTML files, the referenced figures are gathered, copied into a subdirectory and the HTML document and the figures are placed into a zip folder for convenient transfer. All of the image links in the HTML code are modified to reflect the new location. Lastly, a text file is added with instructions for unzipping the files for convenient viewing (but don't worry, no one ever reads this).
