#' Format Numeric Data with HTML Arrows
#'
#' @description {
#'   When producing numbers in R markdown documents, it can be nice to try and
#'   draw readers' attention to increases and decreases. The \code{html_tri}
#'   function takes a numeric vector, and returns a \code{\link{character}}
#'   vector of HTML strings, which will render in an (R) markdown document as
#'   numbers accompanied with a green 'upward' triangle for positive numbers, a
#'   red 'downward' triangle for negative ones, and a black square for numbers
#'   which are exactly 0 by default. The colours can be altered by passing valid
#'   CSS colour values to the \code{colours} argument, and the symbols by
#'   passing valid HTML character values to the \code{symbols} argument. The
#'   default values are in HTML decimal character codes.
#'
#'   If you'd only like to green/red triangles for some non-zero numbers, you
#'   can use the subset argument to pass a \code{\link{logical}} vector (the
#'   same) length as \code{x} to \code{html_tri}. This will mean that only
#'   elements of \code{x} will get a traingle when they are non-negative
#'   \emph{and} \code{subset} is \code{TRUE}.

#'
#' @param x A \code{\link{numeric}} \code{\link{vector}}

#'   coloured arrows (as opposed to the symbol for 'nochange')?
#' @param symbols The symbols to use for increases, decreases, and things
#'   not chaning respectively. Must a a vector of length 3, the entries having
#'   the names \code{"up"}, \code{"down"}, and \code{"nochange"}

#' Miscellaneous Number Formatting Functions
#'
#' @description {
#'   Sometimes (for example when illustrating differences), it can be useful for
#'   positive numbers to be prefixed by a + sign, just as negative numbers are
#'   with a - sign. The following are a few (very simple) wrapper functions
#'   which do this.
#'
#'   \describe{
#'     \item{\bold{\code{fmt_pm}}}{ Is a wrapper for \code{\link{round}},
#'       which also \code{\link{paste}}s a + sign before positive numbers
#'     }
#'     \item{\bold{\code{fmt_pc}}}{ A simple formatting function for
#'       percentages. Defaults to 0 decimal places
#'     }
#'     \item{\bold{\code{fmt_pc_pm}}}{ As above, but with a + prefix for
#'       positive numbers
#'     }
#'     \item{\bold{\code{format_nps}}}{ A very simple formatter for the Net
#'       Promoter Score
#'     }
#'     \item{\bold{\code{fmt_nps_pm}}}{ As above, but without the percentage
#'       sign
#'     }
#'     \item{\bold{\code{unsci}}}{ Unscientific notation: Short colloquial
#'       number formatting. For example, 1e+04 becomes "100k", 1.454e+09 becomes
#'       "1.5B", etc.
#'     }
#'     \item{\bold{\code{unsci_dollars}}}{ A convenience function for the above,
#'       with \code{currency = TRUE} as the default.
#'     }
#'   }
#' }
#'
#' @param x \code{\link{numeric}} data to format
#' @param currency Should numbers be prefixed with \code{symbol}?
#' @param symbol if \code{currency = TRUE}, a string to prefix numbers with
#' @param ... Passed to \code{\link{round}}
#' @param digits Parameter passed to \code{\link{round}}
#' @param type The truncation function for the number, in the context of the
#'   text in which its likely to be formatted. One of \code{round} (the
#'   \code{round} function is used), \code{greater} (the \code{floor} function
#'   is used) or \code{less} (the \code{ceiling} function is used).
#' @param pad Should the resulting strings be prefix-padded with spaces to make
#'   all strings in the character vector a uniform width?
