protect_curly: Protect curly elements for further processing

In tinkr: Cast '(R)Markdown' Files to 'XML' and Back Again

Protect curly elements for further processing

Description

Protect curly elements for further processing

Usage

protect_curly(body, ns = md_ns())

Arguments

body	an XML object
ns	an XML namespace object (defaults: md_ns()).

Details

Commonmark will render text such as {.unnumbered} (Pandoc/Quarto option) or ⁠{#hello .greeting .message style="color: red;"}⁠ (Markdown custom block) as normal text which might be problematic if trying to extract real text from the XML.

If sending the XML to, say, a translation API that allows some tags to be ignored, you could first transform the text tags with the attribute curly to curly tags, and then transform them back to text tags before using to_md().

Value

a copy of the modified XML object

Note

this function is also a method in the yarn object.

Examples

m <- tinkr::to_xml(system.file("extdata", "basic-curly.md", package = "tinkr"))
xml2::xml_child(m$body)
m$body <- protect_curly(m$body)
xml2::xml_child(m$body)
