Escape Special Characters for Latex by Default

Description

Escapes text characters that have special meaning in latex. Adapted with gratitude from KableExtra internals. I.e. inactivates material that otherwise looks like latex.

Usage

## Default S3 method:
escape_latex(x, secondary = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

x	typically inherits character
secondary	logical: whether secondary backslashes should be pre-doubled
...	ignored

Details

This function is used in as_kable.tablet in preparation for a call to kbl. At kableExtra 1.3.4, sim_double_escape() only doubles primary (leading) backslashes; the secondary argument by default pre-doubles later backslashes to prevent certain display errors. Behavior may change if kableExtra changes.

Value

latex
