Add/remove R's texmf tree to/from TeX Live

Source: R/tlmgr.R

R ships a custom texmf tree containing a few LaTeX style and class files, which are required when compiling R packages manuals (Rd.sty) or Sweave documents (Sweave.sty). This tree can be found under the directory file.path(R.home('share'), 'texmf'). This function can be used to add/remove R's texmf tree to/from TeX Live via tlmgr_conf('auxtrees').

r_texmf(action = c("add", "remove"), ...)

Arguments

action
