gt (version 0.2.2)

fmt_markdown: Format Markdown text

Description

Any Markdown-formatted text in the incoming cells will be transformed to the appropriate output type during render when using fmt_markdown().

Usage

fmt_markdown(data, columns, rows = NULL)

Arguments

data

A table object that is created using the gt() function.

columns

The columns to format. Can either be a series of column names provided in vars(), a vector of column indices, or a helper function focused on selections. The select helper functions are: starts_with(), ends_with(), contains(), matches(), one_of(), and everything().

rows

Optional rows to format. Not providing any value results in all rows in columns being formatted. Can either be a vector of row captions provided c(), a vector of row indices, or a helper function focused on selections. The select helper functions are: starts_with(), ends_with(), contains(), matches(), one_of(), and everything(). We can also use expressions to filter down to the rows we need (e.g., [colname_1] > 100 & [colname_2] < 50).

Value

An object of class gt_tbl.

Figures

Function ID

3-8

Details

Targeting of values is done through columns and additionally by rows (if nothing is provided for rows then entire columns are selected). A number of helper functions exist to make targeting more effective. Conditional formatting is possible by providing a conditional expression to the rows argument. See the Arguments section for more information on this.

# Arrange the text snippets as a tibble

# then, create a gt table and format
# all columns with `fmt_markdown()`

    text_1a,   text_2a,
    text_1b,   text_2b,
