How do I format code for hyperlink when using "if else" statements.

[ML_Rookie_2021]

The code below returns "http://www.yahoo.com" when I knit. How do I format it to just show Yahoo with a clickable hyperlink?

Code Chunk -

count <- 3
cutoff <- 4
espn <- "http://espn.com"
yahoo <- "http://www.yahoo.com"

In Line -

r if(count > cutoff){espn} else {yahoo}

Hi,
Your issue is in a Rmardown document. If so, you can do something like this on your Rmarkdown:

count <- 3
cutoff <- 4
espn <- "http://espn.com"
yahoo <- "http://www.yahoo.com"
output<-NULL
name_output<-NULL

output <- if(count > cutoff){espn} else {yahoo}
name_output <- if(count > cutoff){'ESPN'} else {'YAHOO'}

[r name_output](r output)

It will Print Yahoo or ESPN depends on condition

Hope it help

going with Rodrigues general approach its also possible with

 htmltools::a(name_output,
              href=output)

Click the one that looks like a box with a checkmark in it: [image] Hovering over the mark solution button shows the label, "Select if this reply solves the problem". If you don't see the mark solution button, try clicking the three dots button ( ••• ) to expand the full set of options. When a solution is chosen, the icon turns green and the hover label changes to: "Unselect if this reply no longer solves the problem". Success! [solution_reply_author] :information_s…
