html5: Convert md to HTML5 Slides

In reports: Assist the Workflow of Writing Academic Articles and Other Reports

Description

Uses http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/ to convert md to HTML5 DZSlides slides or slidy and provides minor modifications (e.g., embedded youtube and hanging indent text).

Usage

  html5(in.file = NULL, out.file = NULL, type = "dzslides",
    ref.page = "References", refs.cex = 15,
    path = file.path(getwd(), "PRESENTATION"), hi.cex = 25)

Arguments

in.file	A character vector of the md file.
out.file	A character vector of the outfile. If "replace" over writes the original HTML file. Default, NULL, uses the root name of the in.file plus a number 2.
type	A character string of the desired slide type; either c("slidy" or "dzslides").
ref.page	The title of the reference page (adds hanging indent and reduces font size). If NULL references slide will not be adjusted. If reference title is not found a warning will print.
refs.cex	The font size to make the references.
path	The path to where the documents reside/should be created. Default is the PRESENTATION directory. This conveniently allows for non paths to be supplied to in.file and out.file. Paths can be supplied to in.file and out.file by setting path to NULL.
hi.cex	The font size to make the hanging indent coded text if hi code chunk is used.

Details

The user must have Pandoc installed and on their path. Pandoc can be installed from:
http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/installing.html

Code Chunks

The following convenience code chunks are implemented:

1. hi - Wrapping text with this code chunk will result in hanging indentation. Use hi.cex to control the font size of the text.

2. yt - Wrap a youtube url or tag to embed a youtube video

Code chunks use the following form: [[[text]]]=code.tag (e.g., [[[cokNUTGtoM4]]]=yt embeds a youtube video. Currently this is a convenience feature that may have unexpected results and may need additional tweaking within the html output. When using embedded youtube, slide titles and text are ignored but may effect the spacing of the player. User additions are welcomed.
