Colours for text reports? about report

[strboul]

This package looks very promising!

I was thinking about how to make report more integrated with the RMarkdown. The current missing things for me in report are that there are not many options to change styling; and therefore, there are less RMarkdown inlining possibilities.

An API suggestion and an expected result:

library(tidyverse)
library(report)

iris %>% 
  with(., cor.test(Sepal.Length, Petal.Length)) %>% 
  report() %>% 
  report_style(
    rename_values(
      Parameter1 = `Sepal Length`,
      Parameter2 = `Sepal Width`
    ),
    text_bold(
      value = "Parameter1"
    ),
    text_bold(
      value = "Parameter2"
    )
    text_italic(
      value = "r"
    ),
    text_italic(
      value = "p"
    )
  ) %>% 
  to_fulltext()
#> The Pearson's product-moment correlation between **Sepal Length** and 
#> **Petal Length** is positive, significant and large (*r = 0.87*, *p < .001*).

This kind of pipe chaining is implemented in a very well manner in rstudio/gt.

Also, referring to your initial message, I'd suggest doing modifications in the object returned by report() instead of relying upon the pure RegEx which would be a lot of work and very likely to fail.

@strboul Thanks for that suggestion! >e will start looking into it once an initial version of report in on CRAN. We might ping you then to seek your opinion ☺️

The cli package could coloring console output quite straightforward, but I don't know how well it translates to Md/TeX/HTML output (if at all)?

Dr. Strengejacke strongly recommends the easystats remain lightweight, so can't pick up a new dependency like cli 😄

insight has a utility function does exactly this:
