How to reference the current chunk label in knitr?

Question

I want to get the current chunk label inside a chunk. Is this 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')
```
"))

Which gives

render_markdown(strict = TRUE)
opts_current$get(name = "label")

## [1] "hello"
