Format text using {utf8ify} if there is no format option!

𝑻𝑯𝑰𝑺 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁 how to format ⓣⓔⓧⓣ (𝖎𝖋 𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖗𝖊 𝖎𝖘 𝖓𝖔 𝖋𝖔𝖗𝖒𝖆𝖙 𝖔𝖕𝖙𝖎𝖔𝖓):

If you want to post a text, but there is no format-option. Check, if you can add some smileys 😀💡✔️

If yes, my R package {𝘂𝘁𝗳𝟴𝗶𝗳𝘆} does the trick! It let’s you format text using utf8 characters. So e.g. every character of a 𝗯𝗼𝗹𝗱 text ist now translated into a corresponding bold utf8 character.

And the whole text above is without using HTML format-options. It’s simply using the utf8 trick provided by {𝘂𝘁𝗳𝟴𝗶𝗳𝘆}

This is the code that generates the first text-line:

library(utf8ify)
cat(paste(
  utf8_text_bolditalic("THIS"),
  utf8_text_bold("is the secret"),
  "how to format",
  utf8_text_circle("text"),
  utf8_text_gothic("(if there is no format option):")
))

ggplot

You can even {utf8ify} your ggplot!

library(tidyverse)
library(explore)
library(utf8ify)

title <- paste(
 utf8_text_bold("Beer"),
 utf8_text_italic("Beer"),
 utf8_text_bolditalic("Beer"),
 utf8_text_gothic("Beer"),
 utf8_text_circle("Beer"),
 utf8_collection()$fav["beer"])

use_data_beer() |> 
 ggplot(aes(x = alcohol_vol_pct, y = energy_kcal_100ml)) +
 geom_point() +
 ggtitle(title) +
 theme(plot.title = element_text(size=20))
