Add Markdown formatted text to a Workbook

wb_add_marquee_text() uses fmt_marquee_txt() to add Markdown formatted text to a Workbook. openxlsx2::wb_set_col_widths() is applied to the workbook to adjust widths for the specified columns. Set widths = NULL to disable this functionality.

Usage

wb_add_marquee_text(
  wb = NULL,
  text,
  sheet = current_sheet(),
  dims = NULL,
  ...,
  cols = 1,
  widths = "auto"
)

Arguments

wb

A Workbook object containing a worksheet.

text

A character string. The core quality of markdown is that any text is valid markdown so there is no restrictions on the content

sheet

The worksheet to write to. Can be the worksheet index or name.

dims

Spreadsheet cell range that will determine start_col and start_row: "A1", "A1:B2", "A:B"

...

Arguments passed on to fmt_marquee_txt

style

A style set such as classic_style() that defines how the text should be rendered

ignore_html

Should HTML code be removed from the output

cols

Indices of cols to set/remove column widths.

widths

Width to set cols to specified column width or "auto" for automatic sizing. widths is recycled to the length of cols. openxlsx2 sets the default width is 8.43, as this is the standard in some spreadsheet software. See Details for general information on column widths.
