inline_expr: Wrap code using the inline R expression syntax

In knitr: A General-Purpose Package for Dynamic Report Generation in R

Wrap code using the inline R expression syntax

Description

This is a convenience function to write the "source code" of inline R expressions. For example, if you want to write `r 1+1` literally in an R Markdown document, you may write ⁠`` `r knitr::inline_expr('1+1')` ``⁠; for Rnw documents, this may be ⁠\Sexpr{knitr::inline_expr{'1+1'}}⁠.

Usage

inline_expr(code, syntax)

Arguments

code	Character string of the inline R source code.
syntax	A character string to specify the syntax, e.g., rnw, html, or md. If not specified, this will be guessed from the knitting context.

Value

A character string marked up using the inline R code syntax.

Examples

library(knitr)
inline_expr("1+1", "rnw")
inline_expr("1+1", "html")
inline_expr("1+1", "md")
