A few simple examples:
|
|
|
|
```{r}
|
|
library(knitr)
|
|
knit_expand(text = 'The value of pi is {{pi}}.')
|
|
knit_expand(text = 'The value of a is {{a}}, so a + 1 is {{a+1}}.', a = rnorm(1))
|
|
knit_expand(text = 'The area of a circle with radius {{r}} is {{pi*r^2}}', r = 5)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Any number of variables:
|
|
|
|
```{r}
|
|
knit_expand(text = 'a is {{a}} and b is {{b}}, with my own pi being {{pi}} instead of {{base::pi}}', a=1, b=2, pi=3)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Custom delimiter `<% %>`:
|
|
|
|
```{r}
|
|
knit_expand(text = 'I do not like curly braces, so use % with <> instead: a is <% a %>.', a = 8, delim = c("<%", "%>"))
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The pyexpander delimiter:
|
|
|
|
```{r}
|
|
knit_expand(text = 'hello $(LETTERS[24]) and $(pi)!', delim = c("$(", ")"))
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Arbitrary R code:
|
|
|
|
```{r}
|
|
knit_expand(text = 'you cannot see the value of x {{x=rnorm(1)}}but it is indeed created: x = {{x}}')
|
|
res = knit_expand(text = c(' x | x^2', '{{x=1:5;paste(sprintf("%2d | %3d", x, x^2), collapse = "\n")}}'))
|
|
cat(res)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The m4 example: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M4_(computer_language)>
|
|
|
|
```{r}
|
|
res = knit_expand(text = c('{{i=0;h2=function(x){i<<-i+1;sprintf("<h2>%d. %s</h2>", i, x)} }}<html>',
|
|
'{{h2("First Section")}}', '{{h2("Second Section")}}', '{{h2("Conclusion")}}', '</html>'))
|
|
cat(res)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Build regression models based on a template; loop through some variables in `mtcars`:
|
|
|
|
```{r, comment=''}
|
|
src = lapply(names(mtcars)[2:5], function(i) {
|
|
knit_expand(text=c("# Regression on {{i}}", '```{r lm-{{i}}}', 'lm(mpg~{{i}}, data=mtcars)', '```', ''))
|
|
})
|
|
# knit the source
|
|
litedown::fuse(unlist(src), 'markdown')
|
|
```
