It\ncan be used to render rich text formatted as markdown (CommonMark)\ninside R graphics such as ggplot2 or other graphics built on grid.\n\n## Installation\n\n``` r\n# You can install marquee from CRAN\ninstall.packages(\"marquee\")\n\n# Or get the development version from Github using pak\npak::pak(\"r-lib/marquee\")\n```\n\n## Examples\n\nThe main function of the package is `marquee_grob()` which creates a\ngrob based on markdown text and a style that can be rendered with grid:\n\n``` r\n# Let's render this readme\nreadme <- paste(readLines(\"README.Rmd\")[-seq_len(17)], collapse = \"\\n\")\n\nlibrary(marquee)\nlibrary(grid)\n\nfancy_style <- classic_style(\n body_font = \"baskerville\",\n header_font = \"marker felt\",\n code_font = \"fira code\"\n) |>\n modify_style(\"cb\", background = linearGradient(\n colours = c(\"lightblue\", \"white\"),\n x1 = 0, y1 = 1, x2 = 0, y2 = 0\n ))\ngrob <- marquee_grob(readme, style = fancy_style)\ngrid.draw(grob)\n```\n\n

\n\n(*The above is an image – go ahead and check*)\n\n## Prior art\n\nI would be remiss to not mention\n[gridtext](https://github.com/wilkelab/gridtext) and\n[ggtext](https://github.com/wilkelab/ggtext), both by Claus Wilke. These\npackages aim to solve much the same problem as marquee, but work in a\ndifferent way and don’t have the same powerful textshaping backend as\nmarquee. Most notably from a user perspective is perhaps that gridtext\nunderstands HTML to some degree, whereas marquee is oblivious to both\nHTML and CSS. Instead, it supports the [full CommonMark\nspec](https://spec.commonmark.org/) with the plan to add support for\ncustom span elements as well.","jobInfo":{"package":"marquee","version":"1.0.0","parsingStatus":"success","parserVersion":2,"parsedAt":"2025-01-20T17:29:49+0000"}}
