Format character columns as markdown text

colformat_md(
  x,
  j = where(is.character),
  part = c("body", "header", "all"),
  auto_color_link = "blue",
  md_extensions = NULL,
  pandoc_args = NULL,
  replace_na = "",
  .from = "markdown+autolink_bare_uris",
  .footnote_options = footnote_options(),
  .sep = "\n\n"
)

Arguments

x	A `flextable` object
j	Columns to be treated as markdown texts. Selection can be done by the semantics of `dplyr::select()`.
part	One of "body", "header", and "all". If "all", formatting proceeds in the order of "header" and "body".
auto_color_link	A color of the link texts.
md_extensions	Pandoc's extensions. Although it is prefixed with "md", extensions for any formats specified to `.from` can be used. See https://www.pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#extensions for details.
pandoc_args	Additional command line options to pass to pandoc
replace_na	A value to replace `NA` (default = `""`).
.from	Pandoc's `--from` argument (default: `'markdown+autolink_bare_uris'`).
.footnote_options	Options for footnotes generated by `footnote_options()`.
.sep	A separator of paragraphs (default: `"\n\n"`)

Examples

if (rmarkdown::pandoc_available("2.0.6")) {
  d <- data.frame(
    x = c("**bold**", "*italic*"),
    y = c("^superscript^", "~subscript~"),
    z = c("***^ft^~Extra~** is*", "*Cool*")
  )
  colformat_md(flextable::flextable(d))
}
#> a flextable object.
