Format Text

Description

Applies italic, bold, or underlining to a piece of text. May be used within lazy.text to add emphasis when the entire paragraph does not need to be formatted

Usage

lazy.text.format(
  text,
  italic = FALSE,
  bold = FALSE,
  underline = FALSE,
  translate = TRUE
)

Arguments

text	Text to be formatted
italic	Logical. Specifies if text should be italic
bold	Logical. Specifies if text should be bold
underline	Logical. Specifies if text should be underlined
translate	Logical. Specifies if text should be passed through latexTranslate before printing

Details

This function differs from lazy.text in that lazy.text produces a paragraph of formatted text while lazy.text.format produces smaller blocks. This allows for smaller bits of text to be formatted for emphasis (see the last example below).
