> `{officedown}` is bringing some [officer](https://cran.r-project.org/package=officer) features into R markdown documents.
## Overview
### Word
The package facilitates the formatting of Microsoft Word documents produced by R
Markdown documents by providing a range of features:
* Compatibility with the functions of the package `officer` for the
production of "runs" and "blocks" of content (text formatting, landscape mode,
tables of contents, etc.).
You can add a column break in a two-column section, you can easily color a chunk
of text, you can add tables of contents at any place in the document and also
add a list of figures or list of tables.
* Ability to use the table styles and list styles defined in the "reference_docx"
which serves as a template for the pandoc document.
With rmarkdown, you can reuse all paragraph styles. With `{officedown}`, you can
also reuse table and list styles. These features are based on the use of Word
templates (`reference_docx`). It is recommended to learn how "Word styles" work
for paragraphs, tables and lists if you never really used Word styles.
> These styles are to be defined in a Word document that serves as a template.
> You must first create a Word document (or edit an existing Word document),
> adjust the styles and save it. This document which serves as a vehicle for the
> defined styles will be used by R Markdown, the argument `reference_docx` must
> be filled in with the file path.
* The replacement of captions (tables, figures and standard identifiers) by
captions containing a Word bookmark that can be used for cross-referencing.
Also the replacement of cross-references by cross-references using fields calculated
by Word. The syntax conforms to the bookdown cross-reference definition.
The package transforms some specific knitr codes into references
calculated by Word, it applies to:
* cross-references with bookdown syntax
* table and image captions
* title identifiers
> It is then easy to copy and paste the content into another document
without losing the reference numbers. Captions are also auto-numbered by Word.
* Full support for flextable output, including with outputs containing
images and links.
The package enable knitting flextable outputs with images or plots in
cells without using `{officer}`. Insertion of images in `{flextable}`
is not supported with `rmarkdown::word_document` but is possible by
using `officedown::rdocx_document`.
### PowerPoint
The package also enhances PowerPoint productions with R Markdown by providing a
mechanism for placing results according to the slide template contained in the
PowerPoint document used as "reference_doc". It becomes easy to add several
contents in the same slide.
The package also offers the possibility to transform your graphic instructions
into editable vector graphics (with the rvg package) by simply wrapping your
call into a call to function `dml`.
## Resources
The help pages are in a bookdown located at:
https://ardata-fr.github.io/officeverse/
Manuals are available at:
https://davidgohel.github.io/officedown/.
## Installation
You can install `{officedown}` from github with:
```{r eval = FALSE}
remotes::install_github("davidgohel/officedown")
```
Supported formats require some minimum [pandoc](https://pandoc.org/installing.html) versions:
| R Markdown output | pandoc version |
|---------------------:|:--------------:|
| Microsoft Word | >= 2.0 |
| Microsoft PowerPoint | >= 2.4 |
## Getting started
### rdocx_document
use RStudio Menu to create a document from `{officedown}` template.
It creates an R markdown document, parameter `output` is set to
`officedown::rdocx_document`. Note that package `{officedown}` need
to be loaded in the Rmd.
## Word Features illustration
A bookdown is available in the package and can be used as a demo.
```{r}
dir <- system.file(package = "officedown", "examples", "bookdown")
file.copy(dir, getwd(), recursive = TRUE, overwrite = TRUE)
# rmarkdown::render_site("bookdown")
fs::dir_tree("bookdown", recurse = TRUE)
```
```{r include=FALSE}
# remotes::install_github("ardata-fr/doconv")
rmarkdown::render_site("bookdown")
z <- doconv::to_miniature("bookdown/_book/bookdown.docx", use_docx2pdf = TRUE,
row = c(1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 0, 4, 0, 5, 5, 6), width = 850,
fileout = "man/figures/README-bookdown.png")
unlink("bookdown", recursive = TRUE, force = TRUE)
```
You should see the following document:
