Create a officer::fp_text() object that uses
defaut values defined in the flextable it applies to.
fp_text_default() is a handy function that will allow
you to specify certain formatting values to be applied
to a piece of text, the formatting values that are not
specified will simply be the existing formatting values.
For example, if you set the text in the cell to red
previously, using the code fp_text_default(bold = TRUE),
the formatting will be 'bold' but it will also be 'red'.
On the other hand, the fp_text() function forces you
to specify all the parameters, so we strongly recommend
working with fp_text_default() which was created
to replace the use of the former.
See also set_flextable_defaults() to modify flextable
defaults formatting properties.
Usage
fp_text_default(
color = flextable_global$defaults$font.color,
font.size = flextable_global$defaults$font.size,
bold = FALSE,
italic = FALSE,
underlined = FALSE,
font.family = flextable_global$defaults$font.family,
cs.family = NULL,
eastasia.family = NULL,
hansi.family = NULL,
vertical.align = "baseline",
shading.color = "transparent"
)Arguments
- color
font color - a single character value specifying a valid color (e.g. "#000000" or "black").
- font.size
font size (in point) - 0 or positive integer value.
- bold
is bold
- italic
is italic
- underlined

- font.family
single character value. Specifies the font to be used to format characters in the Unicode range (U+0000-U+007F).

- hansi.family

shading color - a single character value specifying a valid color (e.g. "#000000" or "black").
