.fileName <- system.file("Introduction.Rmd", package = "REPLesentR")
.allSlide <- readLines(.fileName)
.thisSlidePosition <- grep("^# slide formats examples", .allSlide, TRUE)
.thisSlide <- .allSlide[.thisSlidePosition:(.thisSlidePosition + 14)]
for (row in .thisSlide) cat(row, "\n")

//center Make great plots with 'txtplot'!
