Hello Peter and thanks for your nice function :)
I'd like to use it for a small project; however I did not manage to get the pdf_rendering to work. I found out the following functions should be a bit different (need to access private method of cw object via cw$.enclos_env$private$...). Furthermore I couldn't find the function cw_words_add_id(). Could you provide me with it?

cw_glue_puzzle <- function(cw){
   glue::glue(
     .open = "<R>",
     .close = "</R>",
     columns = cw$.__enclos_env__$private$columns,
     rows    = cw$.__enclos_env__$private$rows,
   "
 \\definecolor{gray}{gray}{.95}
 \\PuzzleDefineColorCell{g}{gray}
 \\begin{Puzzle}{<R>columns</R>}{<R>rows</R>}
 <R>
 cw_glue_table(cw$letters)
 </R>
 \\end{Puzzle}
 ")
 }


 cw_glue_solution <- function(cw){
   glue::glue(
     .open="<R>",
     .close="</R>",
 "\\newpage
 \\PuzzleSolution
 \\begin{Puzzle}{<R>cw$.__enclos_env__$private$columns</R>}{<R>cw$.__enclos_env__$private$rows</R>}
 <R>cw_glue_table(cw$letters)</R>
 \\end{Puzzle}
 \\end{document}
 "
   )
 }

Hey, thanks for writing in.

I am having a hard time understanding your question. Can you make it more readable (help me help you) - e.g. format code as code, have a look here: https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/writing-on-github/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax?

Anyhow, most likely the answer is no. No, pdf rendering is not working that is why this issue still is open and I currently have no time/plans to make it work - sorry.

Hi, thanks for your quick reply. Sorry for the bad structure; I formatted it as code now. I meant that firstly your methods cw_glue_puzzle() and cw_glue_solution() did not work for me, but with the above mentioned code, they do work. cw is a R6 object, that has some public and some private methods, and rows and columns are private, which is why we (at least I) need to access it via this complicated cw$.enclos_env$private$...-part. Secondly, your function cw_glue_clues() refers to another function called cw_words_add_id() which seems to add an id column ;) . However, I could not find this function in your repo; maybe you have stored it locally somewhere?

If pdf rendering will not work, could you hint me what to do with the json code, to get a nicely formatted crossword? Do I need to paste it on a webpage? Unfortunately, I am not familiar with json.
Thanks in advance!

Yeah, I see now. Look, the code in ./rendering is all commented out - this is for a reason. This was a try, an experiment, It did not work. In the last 2 years I did not find neither time nor motivation to work on the problem. I will not invest any time on this, nor do I have time to support questions on abandoned code - consider ./rendering as non-existent as far as I am concerned. Most likely the code in ./rendering is very much out of sync with the rest of the package. I think I switched from a more function oriented to object oriented programming solution - browse the git history if you care to find out what happened. I did not find the function you were asking for, most likely it was there once and got refactored away along the way. If you find a way to make this work, please do make a pull request - (Fork the repo, make a new branch, solve the problem, document your code, pass R CMD check, open pull request). Private fields and methods are most likely private to not expose data/logic that should not be tempered with or which I do not like to support. Therefore, I see no reason to expose them. Sorry, but this package is pretty much as-is as far as I am concerned. But since it's open source you can of course fork it and work on it under the terms of the licence agreement.

Also, please do your homework.

The official example from the documentation does already provide the information you are trying to forcefully extract from the crossword object, see ?Crossword , section Examples.
