FR: tex_document() format

[krlmlr]

• Should write a .tex file suitable for inclusion with \input{}
• Should use --natbib by default

Alternatively, the keep_tex arg to pdf_document() could accept three values: c("yes", "no", "only")

I could take a look if you're interested in supporting this.

You can assign a .tex filename to the output_file argument in render() so that it will not be converted to PDF, but that still produces a standalone LaTeX document, and it seems you want a LaTeX fragment, which is probably not possible at the moment in this package.

Oh, I have a hack that works for me, using a template that consists only of

$body$

and some further tweaks. Would you support a "proper" solution in the scope of the rmarkdown package?

[yihui]

Given that we have html_fragment(), I think it makes sense to have tex_fragment() as well.

Implemented in #1173:

devtools::install_github('rstudio/rmarkdown#1173')

[krlmlr]

Thanks! The PR looks good, but I currently don't have a use case and can't really test it.

[yihui]

No worries. You are not the only person who wanted these output formats :)
