Syntax highlight and link an HTML page

• Code blocks, identified by <pre> tags with class sourceCode and r, processed with highlight().

• Inline code, identified by <code> tags that contain only text (and don't have a header tag (e.g. <h1>) or <a> as an ancestor) are processed processed with autolink().

Use downlit_html_path() to process an .html file on disk; use downlit_html_node() to process an in-memory xml_node as part of a larger pipeline.

downlit_html_path(in_path, out_path, classes = classes_pandoc())

downlit_html_node(x, classes = classes_pandoc())

Arguments

in_path, out_path	Input and output paths for HTML file
classes	A mapping between token names and CSS class names. Bundled classes_pandoc() and classes_chroma() provide mappings that (roughly) match Pandoc and chroma (used by hugo) classes so you can use existing themes.
x	An xml2::xml_node

Value

downlit_html_path() invisibly returns output_path; downlit_html_node() modifies x in place and returns nothing.

Examples

node <- xml2::read_xml("<p><code>base::t()</code></p>")
node
#> {xml_document}
#> <p>
#> [1] <code>base::t()</code>

# node is modified in place
downlit_html_node(node)
node
#> {xml_document}
#> <p>
#> [1] <code>\n  <a href="https://rdrr.io/r/base/t.html">base::t()</a>\n</code>
