Find acronyms — find_acronyms • acronym

Finds acronyms in a Word document and retrieves a unique list of acronyms

find_acronyms(
  path,
  delimiter = c("Introduction", "References"),
  ref_manager = c("zotero", "endnote", "mendeley", "custom"),
  custom_regex = NULL,
  sort = TRUE
)

Arguments

path	The path of your Word document. Passed onto `officer::read_docx()`.
delimiter	An atomic vector of size two indicating whether to set boundaries for looking for acronyms. The default `c("Introduction", "References")` will look for acronyms only between these headings in the text. Set it to `NULL` for not applying any boundary.
ref_manager	Specify the reference manager used in the text. Can be one of "zotero", "endnote", "mendeley", or "custom". Set it to `NULL` to ignore this argument.
custom_regex	Apply your own custom regex to ignore words. You must set `ref_manager = "custom"` for this to work.
sort	Set to `TRUE` for sorting it in alphabetical order. If `FALSE`, it will return the acronyms in order of appearance in the text.

Value

a list of acronyms
