A block of social sharing icons with links

Description

With block_social_links(), we can create a block of social sharing links and links to websites, email, or RSS feeds. The function can accept as many social_link() calls as seen fit to email. Like all ⁠block_*()⁠ functions, block_social_links() must be placed inside of blocks() and the resultant blocks object can be provided to the body, header, or footer arguments of compose_email().

Usage

block_social_links(...)

Arguments

...	One or more calls to social_link().

Examples

# Create an email message with some
# articles in the `body`; in the footer,
# add some social sharing icons linking
# to web content using `block_social_links()`
email <-
  compose_email(
    body =
