A block of code — cli

A helper function that creates a div with class code and then calls cli_verbatim() to output code lines. The builtin theme formats these containers specially. In particular, it adds syntax highlighting to valid R code.

Usage

cli_code(
  lines = NULL,
  ...,
  language = "R",
  .auto_close = TRUE,
  .envir = environment()
)

Arguments

lines: Character vector, each line will be a line of code, and newline characters also create new lines. Note that no glue substitution is performed on the code.
...: More character vectors, they are appended to lines.
language: Programming language. This is also added as a class, in addition to code.
.auto_close: Passed to cli_div() when creating the container of the code. By default the code container is closed after emitting lines and ... via cli_verbatim(). You can keep that container open with .auto_close and/or .envir, and then calling cli_verbatim() to add (more) code. Note that the code will be formatted and syntax highlighted separately for each cli_verbatim() call.
.envir: Passed to cli_div() when creating the container of the code.

Value

The id of the container that contains the code.
