Evaluate provides tools that allow you to recreate the parsing,
evaluation and display of R code, with enough information that you can
accurately recreate what happens at the command line. Evaluate + replay
works very similarly to source()
, but is written in such a
way to make it easy to adapt for other output formats, such as html or
latex.
There are three components to the evaluate
package:
parse_all
, a version of parse that keeps expressions
with their original source code, maintaining formatting and
comments.evaluate
, which evaluates each expression produced by
parse_all
, tracking all output, messages, warnings, and
errors as their occur, and interleaving them in the correct order with
the original source and value of the expression.replay
, which outputs these pieces in a way that makes
it look like you’ve entered the code at the command line. This function
also serves as a template for other output formats.
