as_paragraph_md: Convert a character vector into markdown paragraph(s)

In ftExtra: Extensions for 'Flextable'

Convert a character vector into markdown paragraph(s)

Description

Parse markdown cells and returns the "paragraph" object.

Usage

as_paragraph_md(
  x,
  auto_color_link = "blue",
  md_extensions = NULL,
  pandoc_args = NULL,
  metadata = render_metadata(),
  replace_na = "",
  .from = "markdown+autolink_bare_uris-raw_html-raw_attribute",
  .footnote_options = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

x	A character vector.
auto_color_link	A color of the link texts.
md_extensions	Pandoc's extensions. Although it is prefixed with "md", extensions for any formats specified to .from can be used. See https://www.pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#extensions for details.
pandoc_args	Additional command line options to pass to pandoc
metadata	A list of metadata, typically the parsed result of the YAML front matter. By default, uses resolved Quarto execution metadata when QUARTO_EXECUTE_INFO is set (Quarto 1.8 or later), otherwise rmarkdown::metadata. Explicit values, including NULL or list(), override this default. Inherited bibliography, CSL, and citation-abbreviation paths are resolved relative to the Quarto source document when the file exists there; other names retain Pandoc's resource lookup. This value is used iff the .from argument specifies an input format that supports YAML metadata blocks.
replace_na	A value to replace NA (default = "").
.from	Pandoc's --from argument (default: 'markdown+autolink_bare_uris').
.footnote_options	Options for footnotes generated by footnote_options().
...	Arguments passed to internal functions.

Examples

if (rmarkdown::pandoc_available("2.0.6")) {
  library(flextable)
  ft <- flextable(
    data.frame(
      x = c("**foo** bar", "***baz***", "*qux*"),
      stringsAsFactors = FALSE
    )
  )
  ft <- compose(ft, j = "x", i = 1:2, value = as_paragraph_md(x))
  autofit(ft)
}
