Format a vector containing Markdown text

Source: R/format_vec.R
vec_fmt_markdown.Rd

Any Markdown-formatted text in the input vector will be transformed to the appropriate output type.

Usage

vec_fmt_markdown(
  x,
  output = c("auto", "plain", "html", "latex", "rtf", "word")
)

Arguments

x

A numeric vector.

output

The output style of the resulting character vector. This can either be "auto" (the default), "plain", "html", "latex", "rtf", or "word". In knitr rendering (i.e., Quarto or R Markdown), the "auto" option will choose the correct output value

Value

A character vector.

Examples

Create a vector of Markdown-based text snippets.

text_vec <-
  c(
    "This **is** *Markdown*.",
    "Info on Markdown syntax can be found
[here](https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/).",
    "The **gt** package has these datasets:
- `countrypops`
- `sza`
- `gtcars`
- `sp500`
- `pizzaplace`
- `exibble`"
  )

With vec_fmt_markdown() we can easily convert these to different output types, like HTML

vec_fmt_markdown(text_vec, output = "html")
#> [1] "<p>This <strong>is</strong> <em>Markdown</em>.</p>"                                                                                                                                                                                                               
#> [2] "<p>Info on Markdown syntax can be found\n<a href=\"https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/\">here</a>.</p>"                                                                                                                                                 
#> [3] "<p>The <strong>gt</strong> package has these datasets:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><code>countrypops</code></li>\n<li><code>sza</code></li>\n<li><code>gtcars</code></li>\n<li><code>sp500</code></li>\n<li><code>pizzaplace</code></li>\n<li><code>exibble</code></li>\n</ul>"

or LaTeX

vec_fmt_markdown(text_vec, output = "latex")
#> [1] "This \\textbf{is} \\emph{Markdown}."                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
#> [2] "Info on Markdown syntax can be found\n\\href{https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/}{here}."                                                                                                                                                      
#> [3] "The \\textbf{gt} package has these datasets:\n\n\\begin{itemize}\n\\item \\texttt{countrypops}\n\n\\item \\texttt{sza}\n\n\\item \\texttt{gtcars}\n\n\\item \\texttt{sp500}\n\n\\item \\texttt{pizzaplace}\n\n\\item \\texttt{exibble}\n\n\\end{itemize}"
