Format for converting from R Markdown to an ioslides presentation.
ioslides_presentation(logo = NULL, incremental = FALSE, fig_width = 7.5,
fig_height = 4.5, fig_retina = 2, fig_caption = FALSE, smart = TRUE,
self_contained = TRUE, widescreen = FALSE, smaller = FALSE,
transition = "default", mathjax = "default", css = NULL, includes = NULL,
data_dir = NULL, pandoc_args = NULL)Path to file that includes a logo for use in the presentation (should be square and at least 128x128)
TRUE to render slide bullets
incrementally. Note that if you want to reverse the
default incremental behavior for an individual bullet you
can preceded it with >. For example: >
- Bullet Text
Default width (in inches) for figures
Default width (in inches) for figures
Scaling to perform for retina displays
(defaults to 2, which currently works for all widely used
retina displays). Note that this only takes effect if you
are using knitr >= 1.5.21. Set to NULL to prevent
retina scaling.
TRUE to render figures with
captions
Produce typographically correct output, converting straight quotes to curly quotes, --- to em-dashes, -- to en-dashes, and ... to ellipses.
Produce a standalone HTML file with
no external dependencies, using data: URIs to incorporate
the contents of linked scripts, stylesheets, images, and
videos. Note that if you specify "local" for
mathjax then self_contained is
automatically set to FALSE.
Display presentation with wider dimensions.
Use smaller text on all slides. You can
also enable this for individual slides by adding the
.smaller attribute to the slide header (see
Presentation Size below for details).
Speed of slide transitions. This can be "default", "slower", "faster", or a numeric value with a number of seconds (e.g. 0.5)
Include mathjax. The "default" option uses
an https URL from the official MathJax CDN. The "local"
option uses a local version of MathJax (which is copied
into the output directory). You can pass an alternate URL
or pass NULL to exclude MathJax entirely.
One or more css files to include
Named list of additional content to
include within the document (typically created using the
includes function). If a before_body
include is specified then it will replace the standard
title slide entirely.
Additional directory to resolve relatives paths of templates and included content against (the directory of the input file is used by default).
Additional command line options to pass to pandoc
R Markdown output format to pass to render
You can create a slide show broken up into sections by using the # and ##
heading tags (you can also create a new slide without a header using a
horizontal rule (----------). For example here's a simple slide show:
--- title: "Habits" author: John Doe date: March 22, 2005 output: ioslides_presentation ---# In the morning
## Getting up
- Turn off alarm - Get out of bed
## Breakfast
- Eat eggs - Drink coffee
# In the evening
## Dinner
- Eat spaghetti - Drink wine
----------
## Going to sleep
- Get in bed - Count sheep
You can add a subtitle to a slide or section by including text after the pipe (|) character. For example:
## Getting up | What I like to do first thing
The following single character keyboard shortcuts enable alternate display modes:
'f' enable fullscreen mode
'w' toggle widescreen mode
'o' enable overview mode
'h' enable code highlight mode
'p' show presenter notes
Pressing Esc exits all of these modes. See the sections below
on Code Highlighting and Presenter Mode for additional
detail on those modes.
You can render bullets incrementally by adding the incremental
option:
---
output:
ioslides_presentation:
incremental: true
---
If you want to render bullets incrementally for some slides but not others you can use this syntax:
> - Eat eggs > - Drink coffee
You can display the presentation using a wider form factor using the
widescreen option. You can specify that smaller text be used with
the smaller option. For example:
---
output:
ioslides_presentation:
widescreen: true
smaller: true
---
You can also enable the smaller option on a slide-by-slide basis
by adding the .smaller attibute to the slide header:
## Getting up {.smaller}
You can add a logo to the presentation using the logo option (the
logo should be square and at least 128x128). For example:
---
output:
ioslides_presentation:
logo: logo.png
---
A 128x128 version of the logo graphic will be added to the title slide and an icon version of the logo will be included in the bottom-left footer of each slide.
Slides can also have a .build attribute that indicate that their
content should be displayed incrementally. For example:
## Getting up {.build}
Slide attributes can be combined if you need to specify more than one, for example:
## Getting up {.smaller .build}
It's possible to select subsets of code for additional emphasis by adding a special "highlight" comment around the code. For example:
### <b> x <- 10 y <- x * 2 ### </b>
The highlighted region will be displayed with a bold font. When you want to
help the audience focus exclusively on the highlighted region press the
'h' key and the rest of the code will fade away.
The ioslides template has an attractive default style for tables so you shouldn't hestiate to add tables for presenting more complex sets of information. Pandoc markdown supports several syntaxes for defining tables which are described in the pandoc markdown specification.
You can center content on a slide by adding the .flexbox
and .vcenter attributes to the slide title. For example:
## Dinner {.flexbox .vcenter}
You can horizontally center content by enclosing it in a div tag
with class centered. For example:
<div class="centered"> This text is centered. </div>
You can do a two-column layout using the columns-2 class.
For example:
<div class="columns-2"> - Bullet 1 - Bullet 2 - Bullet 3 </div>
Note that content will flow accross the columns so if you want to have an image on one side and text on the other you should make sure that the image has sufficient height to force the text to the other side of the slide.
You can color content using base color classes red, blue, green, yellow, and gray (or variations of them e.g. red2, red3, blue2, blue3, etc.). For example:
<div class="red2"> This text is red </div>
A separate presenter window can also be opened (ideal for when you are
presenting on one screen but have another screen that's private to you).
The window stays in sync with the main presentation window and also
shows presenter notes and a thumbnail of the next slide. To enable
presenter mode add ?presentme=true to the URL of the presentation,
for example:
mypresentation.html?presentme=true
The presenter mode window will open and will always re-open with the presentation until it's disabled with:
mypresentation.html?presentme=false
To add presenter notes to a slide you include it within a "notes"
div. For example:
<div class="notes"> This is my note. - It can contain markdown - like this list </div>
You can print an ioslides presentation from within browsers that have good support for print CSS (i.e. as of this writing Google Chrome has the best support). Printing maintains most of the visual styles of the HTML version of the presentation.
To create a PDF version of a presentation you can use Print to PDF from Google Chrome.
