How to refer to the current block label in knitr?

Question

I want to get the current block label in a piece. Is it possible?

```{r my_chunk} gettextf("This chunk is called %s", some_function_to_get_chunk_label()) ``` 

Answer 1

You can use opts_current$get eg ...

opts_current$get(name = 'label')

eg,

 cat(knit(text =" ```{r 'hello'} render_markdown(strict=TRUE) opts_current$get(name = 'label') ``` ")) 

What gives

 render_markdown(strict = TRUE) opts_current$get(name = "label") ## [1] "hello"
