How can one do "soft" returns for docx files from officer? To do it manually, I'd press SHIFT + ENTER and alter the ruler tabs to offset subsequent lines. But the heading will show as one line in the table of contents.
I have not been able to reproduce this programmatically.
No methods found in the documentation.
Soft return is not a feature of officer. If you want a new line of text, you will have to add a new paragraph.
library(magrittr)
doc <- read_docx() %>%
body_add_par("A paragraph", style = "Normal") %>%
body_add_par("A new paragraph is starting on a new line", style = "Normal")
If you're just looking to enter a return into the same paragraph, you can use \n:
library(officer)
my_doc <- read_docx() $>$
body_add_par("This is on the first line.\nThis is on the next line")
