Format and returns a line of text — format

You can use this function to format a line of cli text, without emitting it to the screen. It uses cli_text() internally.

Usage

format_inline(..., .envir = parent.frame(), collapse = TRUE)

...: Passed to cli_text().
.envir: Environment to evaluate the expressions in.
collapse: Whether to collapse the result if it has multiple lines, e.g. because of \f characters.

Character scalar, the formatted string.

format_inline() performs no width-wrapping.

format_inline("A message for {.emph later}, thanks {.fn format_inline}.")
#> [1] "A message for \033[3mlater\033[23m, thanks `format_inline()`."
