beamer_presentation: Convert to a Beamer presentation

Description

Format for converting from R Markdown to a Beamer presentation.

Usage

beamer_presentation(toc = FALSE, slide_level = NULL, incremental = FALSE, fig_width = 10, fig_height = 7, fig_crop = TRUE, fig_caption = TRUE, dev = "pdf", df_print = "default", theme = "default", colortheme = "default", fonttheme = "default", highlight = "default", template = "default", keep_tex = FALSE, latex_engine = "pdflatex", citation_package = c("none", "natbib", "biblatex"), includes = NULL, md_extensions = NULL, pandoc_args = NULL)

Arguments

toc
TRUE to include a table of contents in the output (only level 1 headers will be included in the table of contents).
slide_level
The heading level which defines individual slides. By default this is the highest header level in the hierarchy that is followed immediately by content, and not another header, somewhere in the document. This default can be overridden by specifying an explicit slide_level.
incremental
TRUE to render slide bullets incrementally. Note that if you want to reverse the default incremental behavior for an individual bullet you can precede it with >. For example: > - Bullet Text
fig_width
Default width (in inches) for figures
fig_height
Default width (in inches) for figures
fig_crop
TRUE to automatically apply the pdfcrop utility (if available) to pdf figures
fig_caption
TRUE to render figures with captions
dev
Graphics device to use for figure output (defaults to pdf)
df_print
Method to be used for printing data frames. Valid values include "default", "kable", and "tibble". The "default" method uses print.data.frame. The "kable" method uses the knitr::kable function. The "tibble" method uses the tibble package to print a summary of the data frame. In addition to the named methods you can also pass an arbitrary function to be used for printing data frames. You can disable the df_print behavior entirely by setting the option rmarkdown.df_print to FALSE.
theme
Beamer theme (e.g. "AnnArbor").
colortheme
Beamer color theme (e.g. "dolphin").
fonttheme
Beamer font theme (e.g. "structurebold").
highlight
Syntax highlighting style. Supported styles include "default", "tango", "pygments", "kate", "monochrome", "espresso", "zenburn", and "haddock". Pass NULL to prevent syntax highlighting.
template
Pandoc template to use for rendering. Pass "default" to use the rmarkdown package default template; pass NULL to use pandoc's built-in template; pass a path to use a custom template that you've created. See the documentation on pandoc online documentation for details on creating custom templates.
keep_tex
Keep the intermediate tex file used in the conversion to PDF
latex_engine
LaTeX engine for producing PDF output. Options are "pdflatex", "lualatex", and "xelatex".
citation_package
The LaTeX package to process citations, natbib or biblatex. Use none if neither package is to be used.
includes
Named list of additional content to include within the document (typically created using the includes function).
md_extensions
Markdown extensions to be added or removed from the default definition or R Markdown. See the rmarkdown_format for additional details.
pandoc_args
Additional command line options to pass to pandoc

Value

R Markdown output format to pass to render

Details

See the online documentation for additional details on using the beamer_presentation format.

Creating Beamer output from R Markdown requires that LaTeX be installed.

R Markdown documents can have optional metadata that is used to generate a document header that includes the title, author, and date. For more details see the documentation on R Markdown metadata.

R Markdown documents also support citations. You can find more information on the markdown syntax for citations in the Bibliographies and Citations article in the online documentation.
