latexdiffr is a small library that uses the `latexdiff` command

to create a diff of two Rmarkdown, .Rnw or TeX files.

## Installation

``` r

remotes::install_github("hughjonesd/latexdiffr")

```

You will also need `latexdiff` installed on your system:

``` bash

# on MacOS:

brew install latexdiff

# on Linux:

sudo apt install latexdiff 

# with tinytex

Rscript -e "tinytex::tlmgr_install('latexdiff')"

```

## Example

``` r

library(latexdiffr)

# tinytex::tlmgr_path("add")

latexdiff("file1.Rmd", "file2.Rmd")

```

This produces output like:

`git_latexdiff()` allows you to compare different revisions of a file in git:

```r

# 3 revisions ago:

git_latexdiff("my-file.Rmd", "HEAD~3") 

```
