Variable Colour with the if condition

[Ricoo]

Hello,

I'm making Rmarkdown raport and I want to add in text some colour for variable that has to depend from the if statement. For instance:
variable name: var
pseudocode: if (var > 1) than print(r var) in green else print('r var') in red.
Output:
Raport in html with
green number = var if var > 1 else
red number = var if var <= 1

How do I do that?

Thanks for advice

As there is no colorize feature in markdown, you'll need to generate text that make the colorization depending on your output. See this chapter in the Rmarkdown cookbook:

5.1 Font color | R Markdown Cookbook

Example for HTML:

---
title: "R Notebook"
output: html_document
---

```{r, include=FALSE}
color_if <- function(var) {
  color <- if (var > 1) "green" else "red"
  sprintf("<span style='color: %s;'>%s</span>", color, var)
}
```

A value less than 1 is `r color_if(0.5)`.

A value above 1 is `r color_if(2)`

Thank you very much!

FAQ: How do I mark a solution?

If your question has been answered, don't forget to mark the solution! How do I mark a solution? Find the reply you want to mark as the solution and look for the row of small gray icons at the bottom of that reply. Click the one that looks like a box with a checkmark in it: [image] Hovering over the mark solution button shows the label, "Select if this reply solves the problem". If you don't see the mark solution button, try clicking the three dots button ( ••• ) to expand the full set of options. When a solution is chosen, the icon turns green and the hover label changes to: "Unselect if this reply no longer solves the problem". Success! [solution_reply_author] …
