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 copied into each folder. I would like to use R to
compile the latex files, to avoid having to open and compile them
individually. The files are simple one page files with no citations,
so need no biblio.
If I switch to one of the folders containing a table and a latex file and run
texi2dvi("onepager", pdf = TRUE, clean = FALSE, quiet = FALSE,
texi2dvi = getOption("texi2dvi"),
texinputs = NULL, index = TRUE)
I get
running command '"C:\PROGRA~1\MIKTEX~1.9\miktex\bin\texi2dvi.exe"
--pdf "onepager" -I "C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-213~1.0/share/texmf/tex/latex"
-I "C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-213~1.0/share/texmf/bibtex/bst"' had status 1
and no pdf produced.
I think the problem is that the absence of a biblio causes an error.
The files compile in Texniccenter (with a warning on "no \citation
commands" etc). Does anyone know of a trick to avoid this problem?
Thanks very much for any help!
You might want to check the MikTeX documentation to see if there's an
option to do that, but I couldn't spot one listed in "texi2dvi --help".
So I'd suggest that you don't use the texi2dvi executable, just run
pdflatex via
texi2dvi("onepager", texi2dvi="pdflatex", ...)
(or by setting the texi2dvi option) with the ... being appropriate other
commands. If that doesn't work, then write a batch or cmd file to do
exactly what you want, and use system() to run it.
