munch 0.0.3

New features

element_md() and element_chunks() have a new argument width to set the maximum width of the text. Use it with ‘patchwork’ or with a fixed aspect ratio to get titles with the right height (see below).

Bug fixes

Titles, subtitles and captions made with element_md() or element_chunks() could have their first lines cut at the top of the plot: their height was computed for the width of the plot instead of the width of their column. It is now computed for the width they are drawn with. With ‘patchwork’ or a fixed aspect ratio, this width is not known in advance: set width in these cases.
A word wider than the available width no longer overflows: it starts on a new line and, if it is still too wide, it is split between characters (without hyphen). Images, superscripts and subscripts are never split.
Consecutive line breaks now give empty lines, and spaces written after a line break are kept.

Changes

Text is now arranged into lines by flextable::layout_lines(), so that rich text wraps the same way in ‘munch’ and in ‘flextable’.
SVG images are rendered at the size they are drawn, so that they stay sharp.

Performance

Lines are arranged faster.
An image used several times is decoded only once in a session.
The size of ‘png’, ‘jpeg’ and ‘gif’ images is read from their file header, without decoding them: about 15 times faster.

Dependencies

‘munch’ now requires ‘flextable’ >= 0.10.4, ‘officer’ >= 0.7.8 and ‘gdtools’ >= 0.5.3.

munch 0.0.2

Bug fixes

element_md() and element_chunks() no longer ignore plot.tag.position and plot.tag.location (#1).

These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
