- Use simpler parsing algorithm for R 4.0, which avoids crash with certain UTF-8 characters (#189).
- Fix for upcoming R-devel (#169).
-
highlight()
no longer errors if a package imputed to have been attached isn't installed. -
Correctly link
requireNamespace(MASS)
(#151).
-
Supports new base pipe
|>
syntax (#126). -
Every line get its own
<span>
to match pandoc (#122). -
Multi-line tokens (e.g. strings) now get a
<span>
per line (#139). -
Very long strings or other tokens are no longer truncated (@dmurdoch, #128).
-
Function calls (in inline and code blocks) will no longer to non-function topics (#135).
-
Re-exports detection no longer relies on name of
.Rd
file (#134). -
Link to correct topic with
::()
andutils::help()
(@IndrajeetPatil, #131). -
Generate correct link for Bioconductor vignettes (@zeehio, #145)
-
Messages, warnings, and errors now get a much more minimal style. Messages are styled the same way as output; and warnings and errors only style the "Warning" or "Error" text. This makes these types of output easier to read, and easier for package developers to style themselves.
-
Messages, warnings, and errors now retrieve their text using
conditionMessage()
, which supports more advanced types of conditions (@davidchall, #100). -
The overall structure of the syntax highlighting has been overhauled. Now each line is wrapped in a
<span>
with classr-in
(input code),r-out
(output printed to console),r-plot
(plots),r-msg
(messages),r-wrn
(warnings), andr-err
(errors). Additionally, the prompt (#>
) is wrapped in a<span class="r-pr">
. Altogether, these changes should give much more flexibility for styling with CSS (#90). -
ANSI escapes no longer generate invalid HTML (#79).
-
Changes to better support for HTML widgets and rgl in pkgdown (@dmurdoch, #78). In particular,
evaluate_and_highlight()
now returns an additional attribute containing all extra dependencies needed to render the returned HTML.
-
Packages attached when you call
library(package)
(including by the tidyverse), are now taken into account when autolinking (#87). -
In code blocks, custom infix operators are now autolinked (#89). In inline code, infix operators are no longer autolinked; this lead to too many false positives. You can still link with (e.g.)
?"-"
(#86). -
Inline calls with arguments (e.g.
foo(1, 2)
) are no longer auto-linked, as intended and documented (#82). -
Autolinking
vignette(foo, package = "pkg")
no longer errors ifpkg
is not installed (#85). -
Unusual help calls (e.g.
help(a$b)
), no longer generate errors (#77). -
Rare warning about incomplete final line in
autolink_url("pkgname::foo")
is now suppressed (@dmurdoch, pkgdown#1419). -
href_package()
is now exported (#103). -
Auto-linking is more likely to succeed when the remote package is not installed as downlit now looks for the URL using
tools::CRAN_package_db()
for CRAN packages, and andavailable.packages()
for packages installed from non-CRAN repos (@ARawles, #108). -
Functions in HTML
<summary>
elements are no longer autolinked (@gadenbuie, #105).
-
When auto-linking
vignette(foo)
, downlit now looks for a vignette named foo in the packages it knows to be attached (#61). -
Can now force highlighting of any
<pre>
by wrapping it inside a<div>
withclass = "downlit"
. This is useful in cases where it may otherwise be hard to set the class of the<pre>
. -
In comments,
\u2029
is converted to\033
to make it possible to preserve ANSI escapes when passed through xml2. -
No longer errors on library calls with named but empty arguments.
-
Autolinking can use metadata stored in package itself with pkgdown setting
deploy.install_metadata
; this is useful for packages that only have private websites (@matthewstrasiotto, #29) -
Autolinking guesses reference and article urls for pkgdown sites that haven't set url (@krlmlr, #44).
-
R6 classes are autolinked when a new object is created i.e. in
r6_object$new()
,r6_object
will link to its docs (#59, @maelle). -
R6 methods are no longer autolinked as if they were functions of the same name (#54, @maelle).
-
classes_pandoc()
andclasses_chroma()
have been thoroughly revieweed to produce syntax highlighting as similar as possible to RStudio. -
downlit_html_path()
has a more flexible XPath identifying R code blocks, and aclasses
argument (#53, @maelle, @cderv) -
Trailing
/
are no longer stripped from URLs (#45, @krlmlr). -
Removed extra newline in
<pre>
output (#42, @krlmlr).
- Added a
NEWS.md
file to track changes to the package.
