[R] Run Sweave and LaTeX directly from command line

[Gorjanc Gregor]

Friedrich,

This texi2dvi is also very nice. Dou you know of any pros and cons
in comparison to rubber?

Is tex2dvi also shipped with R for windows? I am not able to find  
a binnary in my windows installation, however I found help page. 
Did I missed anything? I have 2.0.1

Very nice!

Side note 1: R ships a version of texi2dvi, hence you might use that
one in case rubber is not found.

side note 2: For make afficionados the follwing 2 rules in combination
with the Sweave script from the FAQ do almost the same (that's what I
use :-)

%.tex: %.Rnw
        Sweave $<

%.pdf : %.tex
        texi2dvi --clean --pdf $<


Best,
