Usage

See the vignettes for more examples.

Using highlighter

We can use the highglighter function in order to render and highlight code. By default the function will highlight the syntax of R code.

highlighter("some_variable <- 3")

If we want we can specify the language using the language parameter.

highlighter("const someVariable = 3;", language = "js")

Using highlight_file

We can pass the path to a local file using the highlight_file function

highlight_file("<path_to_your_file>", language = "r")
