StringStyleJoin

Join plain and styled strings

Contributed by: Daniele Gregori

ResourceFunction["StringStyleJoin"][s₁,s₂,s₃, …]

join an arbitrary sequence of styled or plain strings as a unique string.

Details

Each argument must be either an explicit String or a string inside a Style wrapper.

It many circumstances (such as creative writing or plot labeling) it is often desirable to format strings with a certain Style, without losing the property of them being an actual String.

Thus StringStyleJoin allows to output a unique string from an arbitrary Sequence of styles or plain strings.

This is made possible essentially through the ToBoxes internal notebook manipulation.

Examples

Basic Examples (1)

Join different styles in a unique string:

In[1]:=

Out[1]=

Scope (1)

Join both styled and plain strings:

In[2]:=

Out[2]=

In[3]:=

Out[3]=

Applications (1)

Easily add styled labels to plots:

In[4]:=

$GeoRegionValuePlot[ <|Rule[ Entity[ "AdministrativeDivision", {"CastelliCalepio", "Bergamo", "Lombardy", "Italy"}], 10^6]|>, PlotLabel -> ResourceFunction["StringStyleJoin"]["\n", Style["Energy Expense", Bold, 25], "\n", Style["Castel de Conti", Italic, 20], "\n", Style["(N.B. faked example data)", 8]], GeoRange -> Quantity[5, "Kilometers"]]$

Out[4]=

Properties and Relations (4)

The output of StringStyleJoin is similar to that of ResourceFunction["StringReplaceRow"], with the main difference being that StringStyleJoin maintains the expression as a String:

In[5]:=
