Generating Text Appendices

To create text appendices in one step:

make_text_appendices(qsf_path='C:/Users/oirera01/Desktop/Sample_Survey.qsf',
                     csv_path='C:/Users/oirera01/Desktop/Sample_Survey.csv',
                     headerrows=3, 
                     output_dir='C:/Users/oirera01/Desktop/Testing/',
                     filename='Text Appendices.docx')

Alternatively, you can load a survey into the environment and then process it after having a chance to edit the survey data in R.

# Use get_setup interactively to load survey data
get_setup()

# Make edits if desired

# Without arguments, make_text_appendices defaults to loading the survey data 
# from the global scope and defaults the filename to 'Text Appendices.docx'
make_text_appendices(output_dir='C:/Users/oirera01/Desktop/Testing/')

To generate text appendices in a more hands-on way, one first creates the text appendices as HTML with the text_appendices_table function. Then, the HTML contents is converted using html_2_pandoc. The following example makes use of the Survey Flow. If you would like to avoid using it, simply do not define flow, and do not pass it as an argument to text_appendices_table.

get_setup(
  qsf_path='C:/Users/oirera01/Desktop/Sample_Survey.qsf',
  csv_path='C:/Users/oirera01/Desktop/Sample_Survey.csv',
  headerrows=3
)

output_dir <- 'C:/Users/oirera01/Desktop/'

html_2_pandoc(
  html=c(blocks_header_to_html(blocks),
          text_appendices_table(blocks, original_first_rows, flow)), 
  file_name='sample survey text appendices.docx',
  output_dir=output_dir
)
