markdownify: Convert text to Markdown

In roxygen2md: 'Roxygen' to 'Markdown'

Convert text to Markdown

Description

Converts a character vector from Rd to Markdown.

The scope argument controls the depth of the transformation.

With scope = "none", no transformations are carried out. The only effect is that Markdown is enabled for this package.

With scope = "simple", the following elements are converted:

• ⁠\\code{}⁠

• ⁠\\emph{}⁠

• ⁠\\bold{}⁠ and ⁠\\strong{}⁠

• ⁠\\href{}⁠

• ⁠\\url{}⁠

With scope = "full", the following elements are converted in addition:

• ⁠\\code{\link{}}⁠ and ⁠\\link{}⁠, with ⁠[]⁠ options

• ⁠\\linkS4class{}⁠

With scope = "unlink", only the following elements are translated:

• ⁠\\link{...}⁠ to ...

With scope = "indent", ⁠@param⁠ and ⁠@return⁠ tags spanning multiple lines are indented with two spaces.

Usage

markdownify(text, scope = c("full", "simple", "unlink", "indent", "none"))

Arguments

text	A character vector containing .Rd style annotations.
scope	The scope of transformations: "simple" runs only transformations that shouldn't substantially change the resulting .Rd files, "full" runs all transformations. In larger packages, run "none", double-check and track the changes, and then run "simple" and then "full".

Value

The same vector with .Rd style annotations converted to Markdown style annotations.

Examples

text <- c(
  "Both \\emph{italics} and \\bold{bold} text.",
  paste0("We can also convert code: \\", "code{\\", "link{identity}}.")
)

markdownify(text)
