A sunny
I’ve tried ioslide in rmarkdown before. And xaringan today. It looks pretty neat. Here is my quick note of what I have learned
My take on MS ppt / libreoffice impress / ioslide / remark(xaringan):
MS ppt / libreoffice impress, I’ll have to spend lots of time aligning elements instead of focusing on the content.
ioslide: neat, but inserting pictures is a pain in the ass. I end up editing the picture resolutions/ inserting modifying code into it. which is contrary to the reason I went for rmarkdown in the first place: care less about the format.
xaringan: better so far, but a bit complicated than ioslide. I’ll give it a try next time and see if there’s new problems
basics
page separator
use
---to separate pagesuse
--to inherit content in previous page, for incrementally adding points
page property
class property: align the entire slides, including
left,center,right,top,middleandbotomlayout property is a bit tricky, avoid it.
export
- exoprting it to a pdf has some issues, use dectape.js as :
system("phantomjs decktape.js slides.html slides.pdf")figure
- figures are rendered greater than ioslide1
layout
- column by column:
---
.pull-left[some stuff]
.pull-right[some other stuff]
---
- footnote:
blablabla<sup>*</sup>
.footnote[[*] Not really. See next page.]- alignment element
- pics and text works too.
.right[]
.right[Right-aligned text]presentation control
- press h for an reminder
issues
hmmm I’ll come back if I run into any issues.
it does not fit into the slide↩
