Compile LaTeX Files

Description:

     Run latex and bibtex until all cross-references are resolved and
     create either a dvi or PDF file.

Usage:

     texi2dvi(file, pdf = FALSE, clean = FALSE, quiet = TRUE,
              texi2dvi = getOption("texi2dvi"))

Arguments:

    file: character.  Name of LaTeX source file.

     pdf: logical.  If 'TRUE', a PDF file is produced instead of the
          default dvi file ('texi2dvi' command line option '--pdf').

   clean: logical.  If 'TRUE', all auxiliary files are removed
          ('texi2dvi' command line option '--clean').  May not work on
          some platforms.

   quiet: logical.  No output unless an error occurs.

texi2dvi: character (or 'NULL').  Script or program used to compile a
          TeX file to dvi or PDF, respectively. The default (selected
          by 'NULL') is to look for an executable on the search path
          and otherwise emulate the script with 'system' calls.

Details:

     Despite the name, this is used in R to compile LaTeX files,
     specifically those generated from vignettes.
