Rmarkdown Retain .tex file

Question

In R, when compiling a markdown document using rmarkdown::render(...), how can I retain the intermediate .tex file that is produced from knitting.

I have tried setting the clean=FALSE argument, but this retains the figures, not the final tex file or auxiliary files, which I need to inspect for debugging purposes.

Answer 1

You can specify it in your YML header with:

output:
  pdf_document:
    keep_tex: true
