#' Convert to a reveal.js presentation
#'
#' Format for converting from R Markdown to a reveal.js presentation.
#'
#' In reveal.js presentations you can use level 1 or level 2 headers for slides.
#' If you use a mix of level 1 and level 2 headers then a two-dimensional layout
#' will be produced, with level 1 headers building horizontally and level 2
#' headers building vertically.
#'
#' For additional documentation on using revealjs presentations see
#' <https://github.com/rstudio/revealjs>
#'
#' # About plugins
#'
#' ## Built-in plugins with reveal.js
#'
#' ### Zoom
#'
#' When activated, ALT + Click can be used to zoom on a slide.
#'
#' ### Notes
#'
#' Show a [speaker view](https://revealjs.com/speaker-view/) in a separated
#' window. This speaker view contains a timer, current slide, next slide, and
#' speaker notes. It also duplicate the window to have presentation mode
#' synchronized with main presentation.
#'
#' Use
#' ```markdown
#' ::: notes
#' Content of speaker notes
#' :::
#' ```
#' to create notes only viewable in presentation mode.
#'
#' ### Search
#'
#' When opt-in, it is possible to show a search box when pressing `CTRL + SHIFT +
#' F`. It will seach in the whole presentation, and highlight matched words. The
#' matches will also be highlighted in overview mode (pressing ESC to see all
#' slides in one scrollable view)
#'
#' ## Menu
#'
#' A slideout menu plugin for Reveal.js to quickly jump to any slide by title.
#'
#' Version `r version <- readLines(revealjs_lib_path("plugin", "menu", "VERSION"))` is
#' currently used and documentation for configurations can be found at
#' [denehyg/reveal.js-menu](https://github.com/denehyg/reveal.js-menu/blob/`r version`/README.md)
#'
#' ### Known limitations
#'
#' Some configurations cannot be modified in the current template:
#'
#' * `loadIcons: false`  the fontawesome icons are loaded by \pkg{rmarkdown}
#' when this plugin is used
#' * `custom: false`
#' * `themes: false`
#' * `transitions: false`

#' ## Chalkboard
#'
#' A plugin adding a chalkboard and slide annotation
#'
#' Version `r version <- readLines(revealjs_lib_path("plugin", "chalkboard", "VERSION"))` is
#' currently used and documentation for configurations can be found at
#' [rajgoel/reveal.js-plugins](https://github.com/rajgoel/reveal.js-plugins/tree/`r version`/chalkboard)
#'
#' By default, chalkboard and annotations modes will be accessible using keyboard
#' shortcuts, respectively, pressing B, or pressing C.
#' In addition, buttons on the bottom left can be added by using the following
#'
#' ```yaml
#' reveal_plugins:
#'   - chalkboard
#' reveal_options:
#'   chalkboard:
#'     toggleNotesButton: true
#'     toggleChalkboardButton: true
#' ```
#' @inheritParams rmarkdown::beamer_presentation
#' @inheritParams rmarkdown::pdf_document
#' @inheritParams rmarkdown::html_document
#'
#' @param center `TRUE` to vertically center content on slides
#' @param slide_level Level of heading to denote individual slides. If
#'   `slide_level` is 2 (the default), a two-dimensional layout will be
#'   produced, with level 1 headers building horizontally and level 2 headers
#'   building vertically. It is not recommended that you use deeper nesting of
#'   section levels with reveal.js.
#' @param theme Visual theme (`r knitr::combine_words(setdiff(revealjs_themes(), "default"), before = '"', and = " or ")`)
#' @param transition Slide transition (
#' `r (trans <- knitr::combine_words(setdiff(revealjs_transitions(), "default"), before = '"', and = " or "))`
#' )
#' @param background_transition Slide background-transition (
#' `r trans`
#' )
#' @param reveal_options Additional options to specify for reveal.js (see
#'   <https://revealjs.com/config/> for details). Options for plugins can also
#'   be passed, using plugin name as first level key (e.g `list(slideNumber =
#'   FALSE, menu = list(number = TRUE))`).
#' @param reveal_plugins Reveal plugins to include. Available plugins include
#'   "notes", "search", "zoom", "chalkboard", and "menu". Note that
#'   `self_contained` must be set to `FALSE` in order to use Reveal
#'   plugins.
#' @param template Pandoc template to use for rendering. Pass "default" to use
#'   the rmarkdown package default template; pass `NULL` to use pandoc's
#'   built-in template; pass a path to use a custom template that you've
#'   created. Note that if you don't use the "default" template then some
#'   features of `revealjs_presentation` won't be available (see the
#'   Templates section below for more details).
#' @param extra_dependencies Additional function arguments to pass to the base R
#'   Markdown HTML output formatter [rmarkdown::html_document_base()].
#' @param ... Ignored
#'
#' @return R Markdown output format to pass to [rmarkdown::render()]
