In Rmarkdown documents use *Cyperus papyrus* L. for inserting a formatted a species name.

Usage

print_name(object, ...)

# S3 method for character
print_name(

  second_mention = FALSE,
  style = "markdown",
  isolate = c("var.", "ssp.", "subsp.", "f.", "fma."),
  trim = c("spp.", "sp.", "species"),
  ...
)

# S3 method for taxlist
print_name(
  object,
  id,
  concept = TRUE,
  include_author = TRUE,
  secundum,
  style = "markdown",
  ...
)

Arguments

object

An object of class taxlist.

...

Further arguments passed among methods.

second_mention

style

isolate

A character vector with words (usually abbreviations) appearing in the middle of scientific names, which are not formatted in italics.

trim

A character vectors with words appearing at the end of scientific names that are not formatted in italics, either.

id

Integer containing either a concept or a name ID.

concept

Logical value, whether id corresponds to a concept ID or a taxon usage name ID.

include_author

## Empty plot
plot(x = NA, xlim = c(0, 5), ylim = c(7, 1), bty = "n", xaxt = "n", xlab = "",
  ylab = "options")

## Accepted name with author
text(x = 0, y = 1, labels = print_name(Easplist, 363, style = "expression"),
  pos = 4)

## Including taxon view
text(x = 0, y = 2, labels = print_name(Easplist, 363, style = "expression",
  secundum = "secundum"), pos = 4, cex = 0.7)

## Second mention in text
text(x = 0, y = 3, labels = print_name(Easplist, 363, style = "expression",
  second_mention = TRUE), pos = 4)

## Using synonym
text(x = 0, y = 4, labels = print_name(Easplist, 50037, style = "expression",
  concept = FALSE), pos = 4)

## Markdown style
text(0, 5, labels = print_name(Easplist, 363, style = "markdown"), pos = 4)

## HTML style
text(0, 6, labels = print_name(Easplist, 363, style = "html"), pos = 4,
    cex = 0.7)

## LaTeX style for knitr
text(x = 0, y = 7, labels = print_name(Easplist, 363, style = "knitr"), pos = 4,
    cex = 0.7)
