Blog post for pillar 1.2.1

[krlmlr]

@hadley: This requires a hotfix to be pushed to CRAN, to fix lubridate. I think the coloring of negative decimal numbers is wrong too.

I think it might be easier for people to understand if you just use tibble(x) instead of pillar(x)

[krlmlr]

Thanks. Would you agree to an explanatory note? It seems that ansistrings can currently render pillar output but not tibble output (r-lib/ansistrings#14), and I'd rather avoid taking screenshots again.

Why is tibble not generated balanced escapes?

I'd really prefer to keep the blog post focussed on tibble, not on incidental details that most people won't care about.

[krlmlr]

tibble uses nested crayon styles which are implemented with escape codes. I might be able to work around this in tibble.

[krlmlr]

Changed examples to use tibble, added a clarification section to the bottom: https://deploy-preview-121--tidyverse-org.netlify.com/articles/2018/03/pillar-1-2-1/. Let's wait until Friday (the anticipated date of the blog post), binaries should be built by then.

FYI I needed this tweak to colourise_chunk():

colourise_chunk <- function(type) {
  function(x, options) {
    x <- pkgdown:::escape_html(x)
    x <- ansistrings::ansi_to_html(x, fullpage = FALSE)
    class <- tolower(options$engine)
    sprintf('<pre class="knitr %s">%s</pre>\n', class, x)
  }
}

It escapes HTML syntax which is necessary for printing stuff like <quosure>.

[krlmlr]

Thanks. I'm already using htmltools::htmlEscape(x) in the call to ansi_to_html(), the code looks very similar to yours.

[lionel-]

oops sorry I must have been confused while debugging and somehow got rid of htmltools::htmlEscape()

[krlmlr]

All binaries have been built on CRAN, ready to publish?

[hadley]

Published, thanks!
