Setting exams_tex = NULL should have the same effect provided that the "tinytex" package is installed. See: https://www.R-exams.org/tutorials/latex/ Also setting exams2pdf(..., texengine = "lualatex") or "xelatex" should also work. All of these have the effect that tinytex::latexmk() rather than tools::texi2dvi() is used for processing the LaTeX code. And this supports setting the shell-escape option. |

Indeed, it worked ! I was missing exams_tex = "tinytex". Thanks a lot. |

I think this should work via tinytex options. Can you try this? options(tinytex.engine_args = "-shell-escape", exams_tex = "tinytex") I didn't have the time to try this myself, yet, but it is my reading of ?latexmk. |

Hi, I'm trying to use the markdown LaTeX package inside my LaTeX templates, is there a way to enable -shell-escape with either system LaTeX or TinyTex ? Regards, Guillaume |
