Embed Base64 Images in Markdown Content

mistral_embed_images.Rd

This function processes markdown content and replaces image references with embedded base64 data URIs from a Mistral OCR response object. This allows images to be displayed inline in HTML without external files.

Usage

mistral_embed_images(markdown_text, mistral_response, page_num = 1)

Arguments

markdown_text

Character string. The markdown content to process.

mistral_response

A Mistral OCR response object containing pages with image data.

page_num

Integer. The page number to extract images from (default: 1).

Value

Character string. The processed markdown with embedded image data URIs.

Details

The function looks for image references in the markdown and replaces them with HTML img tags containing base64-encoded image data. This is useful for rendering OCR results in Shiny applications or R Markdown documents.

Supported image reference patterns:

  • ![img-0.jpeg](img-0.jpeg), ![img-1.jpeg](img-1.jpeg), etc. (Mistral's default format)

  • ![image1], ![image2], etc.

  • ![1], ![2], etc.

  • Generic ![](...) patterns
