pilcrow: Print a paragraph symbol

In BenjaminWolfe/typewritr: An R package for oddball characters and common R Markdown tasks

Description

Print a paragraph symbol

Usage

pilcrow(paragraph_number = "", nbsp = paragraph_number != "")

Arguments

paragraph_number	Numeric or character value to print after the symbol.
nbsp	Logical. Include a non-breaking space between the symbol and the paragraph number? Defaults to TRUE if there is a paragraph number.

Value

Character (UTF-8): A pilcrow and, if indicated, a paragraph number.

For multiple paragraphs, two pilcrows are traditionally used. Accordingly, the function returns two pilcrows if paragraph_number includes an en-dash, a comma, or (not recommended) a hyphen, or if paragraph_number is a vector of length greater than one. In that last scenario, paragraphs will be separated by commas and spaces.

Examples

pilcrow()
pilcrow(8)
pilcrow("8")
pilcrow("8", nbsp = FALSE)
pilcrow(en("8", "9"))
pilcrow("8 - 9") # hyphen not recommended; use en-dash for ranges
pilcrow("8, 22")
pilcrow(c("8", "22"))
