Expand a template into a report's items — tfl_template_expand • tflspec

The B use of a template SPEC: the items its parameters stand for, to save in a report's YAML (each item marked template:<name>) or to run.

Usage

tfl_template_expand(name, args = list(), codelists = NULL, population = NULL)

Arguments

name: The template's name ("demog").
args: Its parameters, a named list.
codelists: The report's code lists (as tfl_read_output() reads them), for the order and labels of values.
population: The study's analysis sets (data.yml's populations), for their labels; NULL for none.

Value

A list: ard, data, content (a list of tfl_item()).
