1. Rmarkdown Powerpoint Template
2. Rmarkdown For Powerpoint
3. R Markdown Powerpoint

PowerPoint presentation. To create a PowerPoint presentation from R Markdown, you specify the powerpointpresentation output format in the YAML metadata of your document. Please note that this output format is only available in rmarkdown = v1.9, and requires at least Pandoc v2.0.5. Learn to use markdown to format Power Automate approval requests. I was unable to succeed using r-markdown, so I researched other packages and found 'officer', which was able to produce the results I wanted. It does not support tables that are not dataframes, so I was unable to add the 'summary(cars)' part. But with two plots as examples, I was able to produce the result Using the following code. The package also enhances PowerPoint productions with R Markdown by providing a mechanism for placing results according to the slide template contained in the PowerPoint document used as “referencedoc”. It becomes easy to add several contents in the same slide. Markdown is a simple language to write web-based content easy both for writing and reading. The key is that it can be converted to many output formats with a simplified syntax.

The package facilitates the formatting of Microsoft Word documents produced by R Markdown documents by providing a range of features:

• Compatibility with the functions of the package officer for the production of “runs” and “blocks” of content (text formatting, landscape mode, tables of contents, etc.).

  You can add a column break in a two-column section, you can easily color a chunk of text, you can add tables of contents at any place in the document and also add a list of figures or list of tables.

• Ability to use the table styles and list styles defined in the “reference_docx” which serves as a template for the pandoc document.

  With rmarkdown, you can reuse all paragraph styles. With officedown, you can also reuse table and list styles. These features are based on the use of Word templates (reference_docx). It is recommended to learn how “Word styles” work for paragraphs, tables and lists if you never really used Word styles.

  These styles are to be defined in a Word document that serves as a template. You must first create a Word document (or edit an existing Word document), adjust the styles and save it. This document which serves as a vehicle for the defined styles will be used by R Markdown, the argument reference_docx must be filled in with the file path.

• The replacement of captions (tables, figures and standard identifiers) by captions containing a Word bookmark that can be used for cross-referencing. Also the replacement of cross-references by cross-references using fields calculated by Word. The syntax conforms to the bookdown cross-reference definition.

  The package transforms some specific knitr codes into references calculated by Word, it applies to:

  • cross-references with bookdown syntax
  • table and image captions
  • title identifiers

  It is then easy to copy and paste the content into another document without losing the reference numbers. Captions are also auto-numbered by Word.

• Full support for flextable output, including with outputs containing images and links.

  The package enable knitting flextable outputs with images or plots in cells without using officer. Insertion of images in flextable is not supported with rmarkdown::word_document but is possible by using officedown::rdocx_document.

7.3 Slide formatting

The remark.js Wiki contains detailed documentation about how to format slides and use the presentation (keyboard shortcuts). The xaringan package has simplified several things compared to the official remark.js guide, e.g., you do not need a boilerplate HTML file, you can set the autoplay mode via an option of moon_reader(), and LaTeX math basically just works.

Please note that remark.js has its own Markdown interpreter that is not compatible with Pandoc’s Markdown converter, so you will not be able to use any advanced Pandoc Markdown features (e.g., the citation syntax [@key]). You may use raw HTML when there is something you desire that is not supported by remark.js. For example, you can generate an HTML table via knitr::kable(head(iris), 'html').

7.3.1 Slides and properties

Every new slide is created under three dashes (---). The dashes must be directly followed by a line break, and there must not be any other characters after the dashes (not even white spaces). When you see that you new slide appear on the previous slide after a horizontal rule, you might have white spaces after the three dashes (if so, you have to delete them).

The content of the slide can be arbitrary, e.g., it does not have to have a slide title, and if it does, the title can be of any level you prefer (#, ##, or ###).

A slide can have a few properties, including class and background-image, etc. Properties are written in the beginning of a slide, e.g.,

The class property assigns class names to the HTML tag of the slide, so that you can use CSS to style specific slides. For example, for a slide with the inverse class, you may define the CSS rules (to render text in white on a dark background):

Then include the CSS file (say, my-style.css) via the css option of xaringan::moon_reader:

Actually the style for the inverse class has been defined in the default theme of xaringan, so you do not really need to define it again unless you want to override it.

Other available class names are left, center, and right for the horizontal alignment of all elements on a slide, and top, middle, and bottom for the vertical alignment.

Background images can be set via the background-image property. The image can be either a local file or an online image. The path should be put inside url(), which is the CSS syntax. You can also set the background image size and position, e.g.,

All these properties require you to understand CSS.⁹ In the above example, we actually used an inline expression xaringan::karl to return a URL of an image of Karl Broman (http://kbroman.org), which is one of the highlights of the xaringan package.

7.3.2 The title slide

There is a special slide, the title slide, that is automatically generated from the YAML metadata of your Rmd document. It contains the title, subtitle, author, and date (all are optional). This slide has the classes inverse, center, middle, and title-slide by default, which looks like the left image in Figure 7.1. If you do not like the default style, you may either customize the .title-slide class, or provide a custom vector of classes via the titleSlideClass option under the nature option, e.g.,

You can also disable the automatic title slide via the seal option and create one manually by yourself:

7.3.3 Content classes

You can assign classes to any elements on a slide, too. The syntax is .className[content]. This is a very powerful feature of remark.js, and one of very few features not available in Pandoc. Basically it makes it possible to style any elements on a slide via CSS. There are a few built-in content classes, .left[ ], .center[ ], and .right[ ], to align elements horizontally on a slide, e.g., you may center an image:

The content inside [ ] can be anything, such as several paragraphs, or lists. The default theme of xaringan has provided four more content classes:

• .left-column[ ] and .right-column[ ] provide a sidebar layout. The left sidebar is narrow (20% of the slide width), and the right column is the main column (75% of the slide width). If you have multiple level-2 (##) or level-3 (###) headings in the left column, the last heading will be highlighted, with previous headings being grayed out.

• .pull-left[ ] and .pull-right[ ] provide a two-column layout, and the two columns are of the same width. Below is an example:

You can design your own content classes if you know CSS, e.g., if you want to make text red via .red[ ], you may define this in CSS:

7.3.4 Incremental slides

When you want to show content incrementally on a slide (e.g., holding a funny picture until the last moment), you can use two dashes to separate the content. The two dashes can appear anywhere except inside content classes, so you can basically split your content in any way you like, e.g.,

There are a few other advanced ways to build incremental slides documented in the presentation at https://slides.yihui.name/xaringan/incremental.html.

7.3.5 Presenter notes

You can write notes for yourself to read in the presenter mode (press the keyboard shortcut p). These notes are written under three question marks ??? after a slide, and the syntax is also Markdown, which means you can write any elements supported by Markdown, such as paragraphs, lists, images, and so on. For example:

Rmarkdown Powerpoint Template

A common mistake in presentations, especially for presenters without much experience, is to stuff a slide with too much content. The consequence is either a speaker, out of breath, reading the so many words out loud, or the audience starting to read the slides quietly by themselves without listening. Slides are not papers or books, so you should try to be brief in the visual content of slides but verbose in verbal narratives. If you have a lot to say about a slide, but cannot remember everything, you may consider using presenter notes.

I want to mention a technical note about the presenter mode: when connecting to a projector, you should make sure not to mirror the two screens. Instead, separate the two displays, so you can drag the window with the normal view of slides to the second screen. Figure 7.2 shows how to do it from the “System Preferences” on macOS (do not check the box “Mirror Displays”).

FIGURE 7.2: Separate the current display from the external display.

7.3.6 yolo: true

Inspired by a random feature request from a tweet by Karthik Ram, the output format xaringan::moon_reader provided an option named yolo (an acronym of “you only live once”). If you set it to true, a photo of Karl Broman (with a mustache) will be inserted into a random slide in your presentation.¹⁰

The xaringan package is probably best known for this feature. I want to thank Karl for letting me use this photo. It always makes me happy for mysterious reasons.

Rmarkdown For Powerpoint

A less well-known feature is that you can actually replace Karl’s picture with other pictures,¹¹ and/or specify how many times you want a picture to randomly show up in your presentation. For example:
