Title: | Enhanced 'R Markdown' Format for 'Word' and 'PowerPoint' |
Version: | 0.4.1 |
Description: | Allows production of 'Microsoft' corporate documents from 'R Markdown' by reusing formatting defined in 'Microsoft Word' documents. You can reuse table styles, list styles but also add column sections, landscape oriented pages. Table and image captions as well as cross-references are transformed into 'Microsoft Word' fields, allowing documents edition and merging without issue with references; the syntax conforms to the 'bookdown' cross-reference definition. Objects generated by the 'officer' package are also supported in the 'knitr' chunks. 'Microsoft PowerPoint' presentations also benefit from this as well as the ability to produce editable vector graphics in 'PowerPoint' and also to define placeholder where content is to be added. |

Force Block Printing while Knitting
Description
When used in a loop, calls to blocks do not generate
output because knit_print
method is not called.
Use the function to force printing. Also you should tell the chunk
to use results 'as-is' (by adding results='asis'
to your chunk header).
Usage
knit_print_block(x, ...)
Arguments
x |
a block object, result of a block function from officer package |
... |
unused arguments |
Value
None. the function only print XML code.

Other functions that force printing:
knit_print_run()
Examples
library(rmarkdown)
rmd_file_src <- system.file(
package = "officedown", "examples", "word_loop.Rmd")
rmd_file_des <- tempfile(fileext = ".Rmd")
if(pandoc_available()){
file.copy(rmd_file_src, to = rmd_file_des)
docx_file_1 <- tempfile(fileext = ".docx")
render(rmd_file_des, output_file = docx_file_1, quiet = TRUE)
if(file.exists(docx_file_1)){
message("file ", docx_file_1, " has been written.")
}
}
Force Run Printing while Knitting

Advanced R Markdown Word Format
Description
'R Markdown' Format for converting from 'R Markdown' document to an MS Word document.
The function enhances the output offered by rmarkdown::word_document()
with
advanced formatting features.
Usage
rdocx_document(
base_format = "rmarkdown::word_document",
tables = list(),
plots = list(),
lists = list(),
mapstyles = list(),
page_size = NULL,
page_margins = NULL,
reference_num = TRUE,
...
)
Arguments
base_format |
a scalar character, the format to be used as a
base document for 'officedown'. Default to word_document but
can also be When the |
tables |
see section 'Tables' below. |
plots |
see section 'Plots' below. |
lists |
see section 'Lists' below. |
mapstyles |
a named list of style to be replaced in the generated
document. |
page_size , page_margins |
default page and margins dimensions. If
not null (the default), these values are used to define the default Word section.
See |
reference_num |
if |
... |
arguments used by word_document |
Value
R Markdown output format to pass to render.
Tables
a list that can contain few items to style tables and table captions. Missing items will be replaced by default values. Possible items are the following:
-
style
: the Word stylename to use for tables. -
layout
: 'autofit' or 'fixed' algorithm. Seetable_layout
. -
width
: value of the preferred width of the table in percent (base 1). -
topcaption
: caption will appear before (on top of) the table, -
tab.lp
: caption table sequence identifier. All table captions are supposed to have the same identifier. It makes possible to insert list of tables. It is also used to prefix your 'bookdown' cross-reference call; iftab.lp
is set to "tab:", a cross-reference to table with id "xxxxx" is written as\@ref(tab:xxxxx)
. It is possible to set the value to your default Word value (in French for example it is "Tableau", in German it is "Tabelle"), you can then add manually a list of tables (go to the "References" tab and select menu "Insert Table of Figures"). -
caption
; caption options, i.e.:-
style
: Word stylename to use for table captions. -
pre
: prefix for numbering chunk (default to "Table "). -
sep
: suffix for numbering chunk (default to ": "). -
tnd
: (only applies if positive. )Inserts the number of the last title of leveltnd
(i.e. 4.3-2 for figure 2 of chapter 4.3). -
tns
: separator to use between title number and table number. Default is "-". -
fp_text
: text formatting properties to apply to caption prefix - seeofficer::fp_text_lite()
.
-
-
conditional
: a list of named logical values:-
first_row
andlast_row
: apply or remove formatting from the first or last row in the table -
first_column
andlast_column
: apply or remove formatting from the first or last column in the table -
no_hband
andno_vband
: don't display odd and even rows or columns with alternating shading for ease of reading.
-
Default value is (in YAML format):
style: Table layout: autofit width: 1.0 topcaption: true tab.lp: 'tab:' caption: style: Table Caption pre: 'Table' sep: ':' tnd: 0 tns: '-' fp_text: !expr officer::fp_text_lite(bold = TRUE) conditional: first_row: true first_column: false last_row: false last_column: false no_hband: false no_vband: true
Plots
Argument plot is expected to be a list. It can contain few items to style figures and figure captions.
You don't have to provide values for each items of the list, missing items are replaced by default values. Possible items are:
-
style
: the name of the "Word" paragraph style to use for the paragraphs that will contain a graphic. -
align
: alignment of paragraphs containing graphics (possible values are 'left', 'right' and 'center'). -
topcaption
: specify whether the legend should appear above the graphic (TRUE
) or below the graphic (FALSE
). -
fig.lp
: Sequence identifier for figure legends. All graphics' captions are supposed to have the same identifier. This value is used for different features:It is used to insert a table of figures.
It is also used to prefix your 'bookdown' cross-reference call; if
fig.lp
is set to "fig:", a cross-reference to the figure with id "xxxxx" is written as\@ref(fig:xxxxx)
.
It is possible to set the Word default value (in French for example, it is "Figure"), you can then manually add a list of figures (go to the "References" tab and select the "Insert a table of figures" menu).
-
caption
: a list for captions' options, i.e.-
style
: the name of the "Word" paragraph style to use for the paragraphs that will contain figures' captions. -
pre
: prefix for numbering chunk (default to "Figure "). -
sep
: suffix for numbering chunk (default to ": "). -
tnd
: (only applies if positive). Inserts the number of the last title of leveltnd
(i.e. 4.3-2 for figure 2 of chapter 4.3). -
tns
: separator to use between title number and figure number. Default is "-". -
fp_text
: text formatting properties to apply to caption prefix - seeofficer::fp_text_lite()
.
-
Default value is (in YAML format):
style: Normal align: center topcaption: false fig.lp: 'fig:' caption: style: Image Caption pre: 'Figure ' sep: ': ' tnd: 0 tns: '-' fp_text: !expr officer::fp_text_lite(bold = TRUE)
Lists
The parameter lists is a list that can contain two named items:
-
ol.style
: style to use for ordered lists. -
ul.style
: style to use for unordered lists.
Default values are list(ol.style = NULL, ul.style = NULL)
.
Expected values are the stylenames to be used to replace the style of ordered and unordered lists created by pandoc. If NULL, no replacement is made.
These values in YAML format are:
output: officedown::rdocx_document: lists: ol.style: null ul.style: null
They can have values corresponding to existing stylenames (of type 'numbering'). With package 'officer', we can read these values with styles_info().
library(officer) docx_file <- system.file( package = "officedown", "examples", "bookdown", "template.docx" ) doc <- read_docx(docx_file) styles_info(doc, type = "numbering")[, 1:6] #> style_type style_id style_name base_on is_custom is_default #> 13 numbering Aucuneliste No List <NA> FALSE TRUE #> 40 numbering Defaultul Default ul Aucuneliste TRUE FALSE #> 41 numbering Defaultol Default ol Aucuneliste TRUE FALSE
From the above available values, the possible configuration is possible:
output: officedown::rdocx_document: lists: ol.style: 'Default ol' ul.style: 'Default ul'
Finding stylenames
You can access them in the Word template used. Function styles_info() can let you read these styles.
You need 'officer' to read the stylenames (to get information
from a specific "reference_docx", change ref_docx_default
in the example below.
library(officer) docx_file <- system.file(package = "officer", "template", "template.docx") doc <- read_docx(docx_file)

R Markdown yaml
The following demonstrates how to pass arguments in the R Markdown yaml:
--- output: officedown::rdocx_document: reference_docx: pandoc_template.docx tables: style: Table layout: autofit width: 1.0 topcaption: true tab.lp: 'tab:' caption: style: Table Caption pre: 'Table ' sep: ': ' tnd: 0 tns: '-' fp_text: !expr officer::fp_text_lite(bold = TRUE) conditional: first_row: true first_column: false last_row: false last_column: false no_hband: false no_vband: true plots: style: Normal align: center fig.lp: 'fig:' topcaption: false caption: style: Image Caption pre: 'Figure ' sep: ': ' tnd: 0 tns: '-' fp_text: !expr officer::fp_text_lite(bold = TRUE) lists: ol.style: null ul.style: null mapstyles: Normal: ['First Paragraph', 'Author', 'Date'] page_size: width: 11906 / 1440 height: 16838 / 1440 orient: "portrait" page_margins: bottom: 1 top: 1 right: 1417 / 1440 left: 1417 / 1440 header: 708 / 1440 footer: 708 / 1440 gutter: 0 / 1440 reference_num: true ---
Known limitations
When using knitr::include_graphics()
in 'rdocx_document',
the image must be local, while with standard 'R Markdown'
output documents, images located on Internet are supported.
Examples
# rdocx_document basic example -----
library(rmarkdown)
library(officedown)
if (pandoc_available() && pandoc_version() >= numeric_version("2.0")) {
# minimal example -----
example <- system.file(
package = "officedown",
"examples/minimal_word.Rmd"
)
rmd_file <- tempfile(fileext = ".Rmd")
file.copy(example, to = rmd_file)
docx_file <- tempfile(fileext = ".docx")
render(rmd_file, output_file = docx_file, quiet = TRUE)
}
Advanced R Markdown PowerPoint Format
Description
Format for converting from R Markdown to an MS PowerPoint document.
The function will allow you to specify the destination of your chunks in the output
PowerPoint file. In this case, you must specify the layout

argument, which will allow you to specify
the placeholder to be generated to place the result. Use the officer package to help
you choose the identfiers to use.
This function also support Vector graphics output in an editable format (using package
rvg
). Wrap you R plot commands with function dml
to use this graphic capability.
