Construct a Markdown-formatted text box item — md_text

Like [text_box()], but `label` is parsed as Markdown and rendered as rich HTML via `gridtext`. Supports **bold**, *italic*, `inline code`, line breaks, and bullet lists. Links render as styled text but are not clickable in PDF.

Usage

md_text_box(
  label,
  text_style = NULL,
  box_style = NULL,
  bg = NULL,
  pad_x = NULL,
  pad_y = NULL,
  link_color = "#2563EB"
)

Arguments

label: Markdown-formatted character string.
text_style: A `gpar` from [text_style()].
box_style: A list from [box_style()].
bg: Optional column background color override.
pad_x, pad_y: Optional column padding overrides as `grid::unit` (non-negative).
link_color: Color for hyperlink text. Default `"#2563EB"`.

Value

An object of class `"bbdr_md_text_box"` to use as an item in layout rows.

Details

Requires the `commonmark` package. If not installed, falls back to plain text.
