fenced_block: Create a fenced block in Markdown

Description

Wrap content with fence delimiters such as backticks (code blocks) or colons (fenced Div). Optionally the fenced block can have attributes. The function fenced_div() is a shorthand of fenced_block(char = ':').

Usage

fenced_block(x, attrs = NULL, fence = make_fence(x, char), char = "`")
fenced_div(...)
make_fence(x, char = "`", start = 3)

Value

fenced_block() returns a character vector that contains both the fences and content.

make_fence() returns a character string. If the block content contains N fence characters (e.g., backticks), use N + 1 characters as the fence.

Arguments

x

A character vector of the block content.

attrs

A vector of block attributes.

fence

The fence string, e.g., ::: or ```. This will be generated from the char argument by default.

char

The fence character to be used to generate the fence string by default.

...

Arguments to be passed to fenced_block().

start

The number of characters to start searching x with. If the string of this number of characters is found, add one more character, and repeat the search.

Examples

# code block with class 'r' and ID 'foo'
xfun::fenced_block("1+1", c(".r", "#foo"))
# fenced Div
xfun::fenced_block("This is a **Div**.", char = ":")
# three backticks by default
xfun::make_fence("1+1")
# needs five backticks for the fences because content has four
xfun::make_fence(c("````r", "1+1", "````"))
