Description

Embed audio in R Markdown documents

Usage

embed_audio(
  src,
  type = c("mpeg", "ogg", "wav"),
  attribute = c("controls", "autoplay", "loop", "muted", "preload", "none"),
  id = "",
  placeholder = ""
)

Arguments

src

A path or URL to the media file.

type

The type of media file specified in 'src'.

attribute

A character vector specifying which attributes to use. "none" can be used if no attributes are desired.

id

A character string specifying a unique ID for the element. Can be used by CSS or JavaScript to perform certain tasks for the element with the specific ID.

placeholder

The placeholder text to use when the output format is not HTML.

Details

'embed_audio()' provides a standard way to embed audio in R Markdown documents when the output format is HTML, and to print placeholder text when the output format is not HTML.

'embed_audio()' is a wrapper for the HTML5 '<audio>' element that prints HTML '<audio>' code in HTML documents built by R Markdown and placeholder text in non-HTML documents built by R Markdown. This function may be useful for conditional output that depends on the output format. For example, you may embed audio in an R Markdown document when the output format is HTML, and print placeholder text when the output format is LaTeX.

The function determines output format using [knitr::is_html_output()]. By default, these formats are considered as HTML formats: ‘c(’markdown', 'epub', 'html', 'html5', 'revealjs', 's5', 'slideous', 'slidy')'.

Value

If 'knitr::is_html_output()' is 'TRUE', returns HTML '<audio>' code. If 'knitr::is_html_output()' is 'FALSE', returns placeholder text.

Note

This function is supposed to be used in R code chunks or inline R code expressions. You are recommended to use forward slashes (/) as path separators instead of backslashes in the file paths.

Examples

# By default, embed_audio() embeds an audio element with playback controls
embed_audio(mp3)

# To change the attributes of the audio element, use `attribute`
embed_audio(mp3, attribute = c("controls", "loop"))

# To add placeholder text for non-HTML documents, use `placeholder`
embed_audio(mp3, placeholder = "This is placeholder text.")

## Not run: 
# embed_audio() is intended to be used in R Markdown code chunks or inline
# expressions. The following creates and knits an R Markdown document to
# HTML and PDF in your current working directory for you to inspect:
library(rmarkdown)
writeLines(c("# Hello embedr!",
"```{r embed-audio, echo=TRUE}",
"embed_audio(mp3, placeholder = 'This is placeholder text.')",
"```"), "test.Rmd")
render("test.Rmd", output_format = c('html_document', 'pdf_document'))

# Delete test files created by example code
unlink(c("test.Rmd", "test.html", "test.pdf"))

## End(Not run)
