The Carpentries Workbench uses pandoc fenced divs to create special blocks within the lesson for learners and instructors to provide breaks in the narrative flow for focus on specific tasks or caveats. These fenced divs look something like this:

Usage

validate_divs(yrn)

div_is_known(div_table)

KNOWN_DIVS

div_tests

div_info

Format

An object of class character of length 13.

An object of class character of length 1.

An object of class character of length 1.

Arguments

yrn

a tinkr::yarn or Episode object.

div_table

a data frame derived from make_div_table()

Value

a data frame with the following columns:

  • div: the type of div

  • label: the label of the div

  • line: the line number of the div label

  • is_known: a logical value if the div is a known type (TRUE) or not (FALSE)

Details

### Hello!

This is a callout block

:::

Lessons created with The Carpentries Workbench are expected to have the following fenced divs:

  • objectives (top)

  • questions (top)

  • keypoints (bottom)

The following fenced divs can occur in the lesson, but are not required:

  • prereq

  • callout

  • challenge

  • solution (nested inside challenge)

  • hint (nested inside challenge)

  • discussion

  • checklist

  • testimonial

Any other div names will produce structure in the resulting DOM, but they will not have any special visual styling.
