This function is deprecated because it's a special case of the new
format_numbers() function. In addition, the new function includes features
not available in the deprecated function.
format_decimal(x, digits, ..., big_mark, delim)A character vector with numbers represented in decimal notation and delimited as inline math markup.
Numeric vector to be formatted.
Numeric scalar, decimal places to report, integer between 0 and 20. Zero returns an integer.
Not used, force later arguments to be used by name.
Character. If not empty, used as mark between every three
digits before the decimal point. Applied as the big.mark argument of
formatC().
Character vector (length 1 or 2) defining the delimiters for
marking up inline math. Possible values include "$" or "\\(", both of
which create appropriate left and right delimiters. Alternatively, left and
right can be defined explicitly in a character vector of length two, e.g.,
c("$", "$") or c("\\(", "\\)"). Custom delimiters can be assigned to
suit the markup environment. Use argument by name.
Convert the elements of a numerical vector to character strings in which the numbers are formatted using decimal notation and delimited for rendering as inline equations in an R Markdown document.
Given a number, a numerical vector, or a numerical column from a data frame,
format_decimal() converts the numbers to character strings of the form,
"$a$", where a is the number in decimal notation. The user can specify
the number of decimal places.
Delimiters for inline math markup can be edited if necessary. If the default
argument fails, the "\\(" alternative is available. If using a custom
delimiter to suit the markup environment, be sure to escape all special
symbols.
