Escape Latex for Class 'latex'

Description

Returns argument typically unmodified. Prevents accidental double-escaping of the same text.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'latex'
escape_latex(x, secondary = TRUE, primary = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x	latex
secondary	logical: whether first 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
