sparkbars in R Markdown

```{r, fig.show='hide', include=FALSE}
library(colformat)
x1 <- c("Using R Markdown and the colformats package we can put a sparkbar in
line with the text using inline R code, like this `` `r '\x60r spark_bar(x)\x60'` ``.
Here's a sparkbar showing a histogram of the number of characters
in each word in this text: `r spark_bar(x2)`. And here is a sparkbar
with the number of words per sentence: `r spark_bar(x3)`.
Pretty neat! In RStudio we do need to 'File -> Save with Encoding...'
and choose UTF-8 to ensure the bars appear correctly.")
# fn to convert values to a 0-1 range
range01 <- function(x, ...){(x - min(x, ...)) / (max(x, ...) - min(x, ...))}
x2 <- range01(hist(unname(sapply(unlist(strsplit(x1, " ")), nchar)))$counts)
x3 <- range01(sapply(strsplit(unlist(strsplit(x1, "\\. |\\? |\\! ")), " "), length))

```{r}
library(htmlwidgets)
library(sparkline)
x = rnorm(10)
sparkline(x, spotColor = "")
```
With the htmlwidgets & sparkline pkgs we can do authentic sparklines `r sparkline(x, spotColor = "")` in the middle of the text.
```{r, echo = TRUE}
library(colformats)
x <- seq(0, 1, length = 10)
spark_line(x)
```
Where is the sparkline? `r spark_line(x)` Should be here.
Roses are <span style="color:red">red `r spark_line(x)`...</span>
Violets are <span style="color:blue">blue `r spark_line(x)`...</span>
<mark>Little sparkline `r spark_line(x)`</mark>
<span style="background-color: #FFFF00">Where are you? `r spark_line(x)`</span>
