Can knitrBootstrap make slide decks (ioslides/slidy)?

[Nathan Carter]

This project looks great, thank you for making it. My only question is whether also works for slide decks (ioslides or slidy, the two that come built into RStudio).

• Does this project already support that feature and I just missed it?
• If not, is such support planned?
• If not, do you have tips on what I should do to extend this project to support ioslides/slidy?
• Or, if you're aware of another project that meets these needs, that would be great, too.

Thank you very much.

What knitrBootstrap feature are you looking for in a slide deck? Rmarkdown supports nearly all of the features of knitrBootstrap now including floating toc and code folding.

Development on knitrBootstrap is mostly stalled at this point, I have no plans to work on slide support now or in the future.

If you tell me what features you are looking for I can try to point you in the right direction though.

The styles! ioslides and slidy seem to have one style each, and I don't like either. Details at this StackOverflow question.

Whoops...wrong button. Of course, you can close this issue if you want.

You can supply a custom css to both ioslides and slidy and customize the theme how you like.

If you are looking for pre-existing themes both revealjs and beamer have a number of themes to pick from.

Reveal isn't respecting slide_level for me, but I can work on that and check their docs/support.

But supplying a custom css to ioslides/slidy is only good if I have a custom css to provide. I took the bootstrap css files linked to in your source code, which depend on fonts specified by relative paths, so I manually modified them to absolute URLs. Now I can get slidy to compile using those files. That may not have been what you were intending :) but I think I'm all set now. Thanks!
