tinkr (version 0.3.1)

show_list: Display a node or nodelist as markdown

Description

When inspecting the results of an XPath query, displaying the text often

Usage

show_list(nodelist, stylesheet_path = stylesheet())
show_block(nodelist, mark = FALSE, stylesheet_path = stylesheet())
show_censor(nodelist, stylesheet_path = stylesheet())

Value

a character vector, invisibly. The result of these functions are displayed to the screen

Arguments

nodelist

an object of class xml_nodeset OR xml_node OR a list of either.

stylesheet_path

path to the XSL stylesheet

mark

[bool] When TRUE markers ([...]) are added to replace nodes that come before or after the islated nodes. Defaults to FALSE, which only shows the isolated nodes in their respective blocks. Note that the default state may cause nodes within the same block to appear adjacent to each other.

See Also

to_md_vec() to get a vector of these elements in isolation.

Examples

path <- system.file("extdata", "show-example.md", package = "tinkr")
y <- tinkr::yarn$new(path, sourcepos = TRUE)
y$protect_math()$protect_curly()
items <- xml2::xml_find_all(y$body, ".//md:item", tinkr::md_ns())
imgs <- xml2::xml_find_all(y$body, ".//md:image | .//node()[@curly]",
  tinkr::md_ns())
links <- xml2::xml_find_all(y$body, ".//md:link", tinkr::md_ns())
code <- xml2::xml_find_all(y$body, ".//md:code", tinkr::md_ns())
blocks <- xml2::xml_find_all(y$body, ".//md:code_block", tinkr::md_ns())

# show a list of items
show_list(links)
show_list(code)
show_list(blocks)

# show the items in their local structure
show_block(items)
show_block(links, mark = TRUE)

# show the items in the full document censored (everything but whitespace):
show_censor(imgs)

# You can also adjust the censorship parameters. There are two paramters
# available: the mark, which chooses what character you want to use to
# replace characters (default: `\u2587`); and the regex which specifies
# characters to replace (default: `[^[:space:]]`, which replaces all
# non-whitespace characters.
#
# The following will replace everything that is not a whitespace
# or punctuation character with "o" for a very ghostly document
op <- options()
options(tinkr.censor.regex = "[^[:space:][:punct:]]")
options(tinkr.censor.mark = "o")
show_censor(links)
options(tinkr.censor.regex = NULL)
