lazy.text.format: Format Text

Description

Applies italic, bold, or underlining to a piece of text. May be used within lazy.text to add emphasis when the entire paragraph does not need to be formatted.

Usage

Arguments

text

Text to be formatted

italic

bold

underline

translate

Details

This function differs from lazy.text in that lazy.text produces a paragraph of formatted text while lazy.text.format produces smaller blocks. This allows for smaller bits of text to be formatted for emphasis (see the last example below).

Examples

lazy.text.format("This is the text")
lazy.text.format("This is the text", italic=TRUE)
lazy.text.format("This is the text", bold=TRUE)
lazy.text.format("This is the text", italic=TRUE, bold=TRUE)

lazy.text("The percentage of defective lightbulbs in this sample was ", 
  lazy.text.format("30%", italic=TRUE),
  ". Clearly, this is unacceptable.")
