README

Based on the Xaringan R-Markdown slide package, This is a slide template to integrate the Duke University Color Palatte

Combines

Info:

My slide-deck template integrates the Duke University Color palette into the Xaringan slide package. Compose your slides Rmarkdown, knit, and your done. Now go present and deliver the Duke-wow. My next development step for this project is to further integrate the existing template into the Rstudio document template feature-set which will streamline your slide development even more.

How to Use

  1. Follow the Xaringan directions for install and starting a new slide deck

    • devtools::install_github("yihui/xaringan")
    • File -> New File -> R Markdown -> From Template -> Ninja Presentation (if this doesn't work, see slide #8)

  2. Before you go any further...

    a. copy duke_slide_template.Rmd & duke_color_pallettes_slides.css to your local slide-composition directory b. add

    css: ["default", "duke_color_pallettes_slides.css"]

    to your YAML header

    c. Knit duke_slide_template.Rmd to moon_reader

    d. Open the duke_slide_template.html in a web browser to learn your next steps.

I need to make this a package. I'll do it eventually. Till then feel free to collaborate (fork, improve, and submit pull-request)

What does it look like?

Stray Thoughts

  • Trade off: loose a bit of graphical wysiwig for vastly improved reproducibility

  • Composed in R-Markdown

  • The more you know about CSS the more you can fine-tune the cosmetic layer

  • Any opportunity to not use PPT is a good opportunity
