In EvaMaeRey/madlibs: Package for removing words or letters in prose

madlibs

The goal of madlibs is to be able to replace words in prose with incomplete versions of the words or drop words altogether.

Installation

You can install the development version of madlibs from github.com with:

devtools::install_github("EvaMaeRey/madlibs")

Drop vowels

library(magrittr)
Warning: package 'magrittr' was built under R version 3.6.2
library(madlibs)
drop_vowels(x = "Hello, World!")

H _ ll _ , W _ rld!

You will probably want to use the function inline, in the middle of a paragraph so you get a result like this to gently test some knowledge:

People can makes sense of r drop_vowels(“relationships”)` in data when it is v _ s _ _ l _ z _ d much more easily than when it is in its raw, table form. The package ggplot2 is a package implementing the gr _ mm _ r of gr _ ph _ cs; the underlying philosophy is also used in Tableau and D3 (a java script library).

Drop words

drop_words(x = "The woods are lovely, dark and deep", frac = .5)
