#' Useful labeller functions
#'
#' Labeller functions are in charge of formatting the strip labels of
#' facet grids and wraps. Most of them accept a `multi_line`
#' argument to control whether multiple factors (defined in formulae
#' such as `~first + second`) should be displayed on a single
#' line separated with commas, or each on their own line.
#'
#' `label_value()` only displays the value of a factor while
#' `label_both()` displays both the variable name and the factor
#' value. `label_context()` is context-dependent and uses
#' `label_value()` for single factor faceting and
#' `label_both()` when multiple factors are
#' involved. `label_wrap_gen()` uses [base::strwrap()]
#' for line wrapping.
#'
#' `label_parsed()` interprets the labels as plotmath
#' expressions. [label_bquote()] offers a more flexible
#' way of constructing plotmath expressions. See examples and
#' [bquote()] for details on the syntax of the
#' argument.
#'
#' @section Writing New Labeller Functions:
#'
#'   Note that an easy way to write a labeller function is to
#'   transform a function operating on character vectors with
#'   [as_labeller()].
#'
#'   A labeller function accepts a data frame of labels (character
#'   vectors) containing one column for each factor. Multiple factors
#'   occur with formula of the type `~first + second`.
#'
#'   The return value must be a rectangular list where each 'row'
#'   characterises a single facet. The list elements can be either
#'   character vectors or lists of plotmath expressions. When multiple
#'   elements are returned, they get displayed on their own new lines
#'   (i.e., each facet gets a multi-line strip of labels).
#'
#'   To illustrate, let's say your labeller returns a list of two
#'   character vectors of length 3. This is a rectangular list because
#'   all elements have the same length. The first facet will get the
#'   first elements of each vector and display each of them on their
#'   own line. Then the second facet gets the second elements of each
#'   vector, and so on.
#'
#'   If it's useful to your labeller, you can retrieve the `type`
#'   attribute of the incoming data frame of labels. The value of this
#'   attribute reflects the kind of strips your labeller is dealing
#'   with: `"cols"` for columns and `"rows"` for rows. Note
#'   that [facet_wrap()] has columns by default and rows
#'   when the strips are switched with the `switch` option. The
#'   `facet` attribute also provides metadata on the labels. It
#'   takes the values `"grid"` or `"wrap"`.
#'
#'   For compatibility with [labeller()], each labeller
#'   function must have the `labeller` S3 class.
#'
#' @param labels Data frame of labels. Usually contains only one
#'   element, but faceting over multiple factors entails multiple
#'   label variables.
#' @param multi_line Whether to display the labels of multiple factors
#'   on separate lines.
#' @param sep String separating variables and values.
#' @param width Maximum number of characters before wrapping the strip.
#' @family facet

#'   [label_bquote()]
