Protect fences of Pandoc fences divs for further processing

Usage

protect_fences(body, ns = md_ns())

Arguments

body: an XML object
ns: an XML namespace object (defaults: md_ns()).

Value

a copy of the modified XML object

Details

Commonmark will render text such as ::: footer as normal text which might be problematic if trying to extract real text from the XML.

If sending the XML to, say, a translation API that allows some tags to be ignored, you could first transform the text tags with the attribute fences to fences tags, and then transform them back to text tags before using to_md().

Note

this function is also a method in the yarn object.

Examples

m <- tinkr::to_xml(system.file("extdata", "fenced-divs.md", package = "tinkr"))
xml2::xml_child(m$body)
#> {xml_node}
#> <paragraph>
#> [1] <text xml:space="preserve">::::: {#special .sidebar}</text>
#> [2] <softbreak/>
#> [3] <text xml:space="preserve">Here is a paragraph.</text>
m$body <- protect_fences(m$body)
xml2::xml_child(m$body)
#> {xml_node}
#> <paragraph>
#> [1] <text xml:space="preserve" fence="true">::::: {#special .sidebar}</text>
#> [2] <softbreak/>
#> [3] <text xml:space="preserve">Here is a paragraph.</text>
