Rmd selection helper functions
Description
These functions are used in conjunction with rmd_select()
to
select nodes from an Rmd ast.
-
by_section()
- uses section selectors to select nodes. -
has_type()
- selects all nodes that have the given type(s). -
has_label()
- selects nodes with labels matching the given glob. -
has_option()
- selects nodes that have the given option(s) set.
Usage
has_type(types)
by_section(sec_ref, keep_parents = TRUE)
has_label(label)
has_option(...)
Arguments
types |
Vector of character type names, e.g. |
sec_ref |
character vector, a section reference selector. See details below for further details on how these are constructed. |
keep_parents |
Logical, retain the parent headings of selected sections.
Default: |
label |
character vector, glob patterns for matching chunk labels. |
... |

Details
Section reference selectors
Section reference selectors are a simplified version of CSS selectors that are designed to enable the selection nodes in a way that respects the implied hierarchy of a document's section headings.
They consist of a character vector of heading names where each subsequent value
is assumed to be nested within the preceding value. For example, the section
selector c("Sec 1", "Sec 2")
would select all nodes that are contained within
a section named Sec 2
that is in turn contained within a section named Sec 1
(or a section contained within a section named Sec 1
, and so on).
The individual section names can be specified using wildcards (aka globbing
patterns), which may match one or more sections within the document, e.g.
c("Sec 1", "Sec *")
. See utils::glob2rx()
or
wikipedia
for more details on the syntax for these patterns.
Value
All helper functions return an integer vector of selected indexes.
Examples
rmd = parse_rmd(system.file("hw01.Rmd", package="parsermd"))
rmd_select(rmd, has_type("rmd_chunk"))
rmd_select(rmd, has_label("*dino"))
rmd_select(rmd, has_option("message"))
rmd_select(rmd, has_option(message = FALSE))
rmd_select(rmd, has_option(message = TRUE))
