Evaluate code and syntax highlight the results

This function runs code and captures the output using evaluate::evaluate(). It syntax higlights code with highlight(), and intermingles it with output.

evaluate_and_highlight(
  code,
  fig_save,
  classes = downlit::classes_pandoc(),
  env = NULL,
  output_handler = evaluate::new_output_handler(),
  highlight = TRUE
)

Arguments

code	Code to evaluate (as a string).
fig_save	A function with arguments plot and id that is responsible for saving plot to a file (using id to disambiguate multiple plots in the same chunk). It should return a list with components path, width, and height.
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.
env	Environment in which to evaluate code; if not supplied, defaults to a child of the global environment.
output_handler	Custom output handler for evaluate::evaluate().
highlight	Optionally suppress highlighting. This is useful for tests.

Value

An string containing HTML with a dependencies attribute giving an additional htmltools dependencies required to render the HTML.

Examples

cat(evaluate_and_highlight("1 + 2"))
#> <span class='r-in'><span class='fl'>1</span> <span class='op'>+</span> <span class='fl'>2</span></span>
#> <span class='r-out co'><span class='r-pr'>#&gt;</span> [1] 3</span>
cat(evaluate_and_highlight("x <- 1:10\nmean(x)"))
#> <span class='r-in'><span class='va'>x</span> <span class='op'>&lt;-</span> <span class='fl'>1</span><span class='op'>:</span><span class='fl'>10</span></span>
#> <span class='r-in'><span class='fu'><a href='https://rdrr.io/r/base/mean.html'>mean</a></span><span class='op'>(</span><span class='va'>x</span><span class='op'>)</span></span>
#> <span class='r-out co'><span class='r-pr'>#&gt;</span> [1] 5.5</span>
