Description Usage Arguments Details Value Examples

View source: R/add_line_breaks.R

Description

This function takes a vector of strings and adds line breaks every n characters. Primarily built to be called internally by format_citation, this function has been made available as it can be useful in other contexts.

Usage

1
add_line_breaks(x, n = 50, max_n = 80, html = FALSE, max_time = 60)

Arguments

x

Either a string or a vector; if the vector is not of class character if will be coerced to one using as.character.

n

Numeric: The desired number of characters that should separate consecutive line breaks.

max_n

Numeric: The maximum number of characters that may separate consecutive line breaks.

html

logical: Should the line breaks be specified in html?

max_time

Numeric: What is the maximum amount of time (in seconds) allowed to adjust groups until character thresholds are reached?

Details

Line breaks are only added between words, so the value of n is actually a threshold value rather than being matched exactly. max_n is matched exactly if a limit is set and max_time is not reached finding new break points between words.

Value

Returns the input vector unaltered except for the addition of line breaks.

Examples

1
add_line_breaks(c("On the Origin of Species"), n = 10)
