Using TeXnicle as editor for knitr-documents
TeXnicle is my favourite editor for writing LaTeX documents. It is available for Max OS X.
So I’d like to use it when writing knitr‘s Rnw-files.
Rnw-files are LaTeX-files with embedded R-code in it. So Rnw-files need to be preprocessed. The result is a tex-file which will be compiled by pdflatex or xelatex.
Processing is done by so called engines. TeXnicle comes with a bunch of different engines. You can see them in preferences (hit ⌘-,) on tab “Typesetting”.
