These transformers are useful for applying the same transformation to every replacement in the template.

Usage

epoxy_transform_wrap(
  before = "**",
  after = before,
  engine = NULL,
  transformer = glue::identity_transformer,
  syntax = lifecycle::deprecated()
)

epoxy_transform_bold(engine = NULL, transformer = glue::identity_transformer)

epoxy_transform_italic(engine = NULL, transformer = glue::identity_transformer)

epoxy_transform_apply(
  .f = identity,
  ...,
  transformer = glue::identity_transformer
)

epoxy_transform_code(engine = NULL, transformer = glue::identity_transformer)

epoxy_transform_collapse(
  sep = ", ",
  last = sep,
  language = NULL,
  ...,
  transformer = glue::identity_transformer
)

Arguments

before, after

In epoxy_transform_wrap(), the characters to be added before and after variables in the template string.

engine

One of "markdown" (or "md"), "html", or "latex". The default is chosen based on the engine of the chunk where the transform function is called, or according to the option epoxy.engine. Caution: invalid options are silently ignored, falling back to "markdown".

transformer

The transformer to apply to the replacement string. This argument is used for chaining the transformer functions. By providing a function to this argument you can apply an additional transformation after the current transformation. In nearly all cases, you can let epoxy_transform() handle this for you. The chain ends when glue::identity_transformer() is used as the transformer.

syntax

[Deprecated] Use engine instead.

.f

A function, function name or purrr::map()-style inline function.

...

Transformer functions, e.g. epoxy_transform_bold or the name of an epoxy transform function, e.g. "bold", or a call to a transform function, e.g. epoxy_transform_bold(). epoxy_transform() chains the transformer functions together, applying the transformers in order from first to last.

For example, epoxy_transform("bold", "collapse") results in replaced strings that are emboldened and then collapsed, e.g. **a** and **b**. On the other hand, epoxy_transform("collapse", "bold") will collapse the vector and then embolden the entire string.

In epoxy_transform_apply(), the ... are passed to the underlying call the underlying function call.

In epoxy_transform_collapse(), the ... are ignored.

sep, last

The separator to use when joining the vector elements when the expression ends with a *. Elements are separated by sep, except for the last two elements, which use last.

language

In epoxy_transform_collapse(), language is passed to and::and() or and::or() to choose the correct and/or phrase and spacing for the language. By default, will follow the system language. See and::and_languages for supported languages.

Value

A function of text and envir suitable for the .transformer argument of glue::glue().

Functions

  • epoxy_transform_wrap(): Wrap variables with text added before or after the inline expression.

  • epoxy_transform_bold(): Embolden variables using ** in markdown, <strong> in HTML, or \textbf{} in LaTeX.

  • epoxy_transform_italic(): Italicize variables using _ in markdown, <em> in HTML, or \emph{} in LaTeX.

  • epoxy_transform_apply(): Apply a function to all replacement expressions.

  • epoxy_transform_code(): Code format variables using `` in markdown, <code> in HTML, or \texttt{} in LaTeX.

  • epoxy_transform_collapse(): Collapse vector variables with a succinct syntax (but see epoxy_transform_inline() for a more readable option).

Examples

abc <- c("a", "b", "c")

epoxy("{abc}", .transformer = epoxy_transform_wrap("'"))
#> 'a'
#> 'b'
#> 'c'

epoxy("{abc}", .transformer = epoxy_transform_bold())
#> **a**
#> **b**
#> **c**

epoxy("{abc}", .transformer = epoxy_transform_italic())
#> _a_
#> _b_
#> _c_

epoxy("{abc}", .transformer = epoxy_transform_code())
#> `a`
#> `b`
#> `c`

epoxy("{abc}", .transformer = epoxy_transform_apply(toupper))
#> A
#> B
#> C
