md_reference: Markdown link reference

In gluedown: Wrap Vectors in Markdown Formatting

Markdown link reference

Description

Take character vectors of link texts, link destinations, and optional titles and return single glue vector of valid markdown link references. This markdown leaf block then uses the label placed elsewhere in a markdown document to render ⁠<href>⁠ HTML tags.

Usage

md_reference(label, url, title = NULL, ..., .name = FALSE)

Arguments

label	A link label that is referenced elsewhere in the document.
url	The URL to hyperlink the referenced text with.
title	An optional link title; defaults to NULL.
...	A sequence of label = "/url" named vector pairs. If any such pairs are provided, .name will be considered TRUE.
.name	logical; if TRUE, the pairs in ... will be used instead of any values supplied to x and url.

Details

A full reference link (6.6) consists of a link text immediately followed by a link label that matches a link reference definition elsewhere in the document...

A link reference definition consists of a link label, indented up to three spaces, followed by a colon (:), optional whitespace (including up to one line ending), a link destination, optional whitespace (including up to one line ending), and an optional link title, which if it is present must be separated from the link destination by whitespace. No further non-whitespace characters may occur on the line.

A link reference definition does not correspond to a structural element of a document. Instead, it defines a label which can be used in reference links and reference-style images elsewhere in the document. Link reference definitions can come either before or after the links that use them.

Value

A single glue vector of length equal to that of label and url, with elements the concatenated arguments.
