Wrap text in backticks

Wrap text in backticks

ticks(..., r = FALSE)

Arguments

...	Character. Text to go between backticks, and any other arguments to be passed to glue.
r	Logical. Add r at the beginning, for R Markdown?

Value

Character. String surrounded in backticks.

ticks is a wrapper for glue, so you can use curly bracket notation and multiple character strings just like with glue.

ticks is particularly useful for R Markdown, where you don"t want to use a backtick because it would end the inline code block.

Sometimes you want to actually show an inline R code block, as text (instead of evaluating it). For that we"ve included a handy shortcut for adding the initial r .

Examples

ticks("foobar")
#> `foobar`
ticks("foo", "bar")
#> `foobar`
word1 <- "foo"
word2 <- "bar"
ticks("{word1}{word2} = 'stupid'", r = TRUE)
#> Error in eval(parse(text = text, keep.source = FALSE), envir): object 'word1' not found
word3 <- "random"
ticks(
  "c(",
  "{word1}{word2} = 'surprisingly', ",
  "{word3} = 'painless'",
  ")",
  r = TRUE
)
#> Error in eval(parse(text = text, keep.source = FALSE), envir): object 'word1' not found
