Overview

About

Maintained by Mike ChengCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Tools for exploratory analysis of tabular data using colour highlighting. Highlighting is displayed in any console supporting 'ANSI' colours, and can be converted to 'HTML', 'typst', 'latex' and 'SVG'. 'quarto' and 'rmarkdown' rendering are directly supported. It is also possible to add colour to regular expression matches and highlight differences between two arbitrary R objects.

Changes in 0.1.8

Fixes for CRAN
Shorter 'Title' field. Drop "Tools for" to make it under 65 chars.
'rmarkdown' and 'quarto' in 'Description' field are now quoted, and match the case for the actual package.
Remove extra spaces at start of continuation lines in 'Description' field.
Added documentation on return values for is_emphatic and print_emphatic
There are no references for this package.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("emphatic", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("coolbutuseless/emphatic")

Development version from coolbutuseless/emphatic. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-emphatic

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-emphatic

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-emphatic

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
