Formatting in plain html version of lecture 5a

[richardreeve]

In Lecture 5a - https://ibahcm.github.io/RPiR/lectures_html/RPiR5a-reporting.html - the emphasis code blocks:

### <b>

and

### </b>

appear in the html, when they should just disappear.

They don't disappear here either https://ibahcm.github.io/RPiR/lectures_html/RPiR2c-development.html

Why do you think they should? Is there any documentation I can reference? Presumably they're being interpreted as R comments..

[richardreeve]

Yes, the docs are here - https://bookdown.org/yihui/rmarkdown/ioslides-presentation.html#code-highlighting - the text within those pseudo-html blocks should just be in bold, but if they are just removed in the html that would be fine. Or maybe ### <b> could just be replaced by <b> in the html, and so on.

[soniamitchell]

Yes, but this describes the ioslides_presentation output, not html_document output?

[richardreeve]

Yes, I know, but what I'm saying is that this text is supposed to formatting, but the html_document output doesn't know, and it would be nice to fix that if there's something we could do...

[soniamitchell]

Ahh... got it 👍 That will require some fiddling around but I think it might be doable...

[soniamitchell]

Code chunk formatting is a feature of ioslides, whereas the html is generated by rmarkdown::render(). Whatever fiddling I might have thought possible is now lost and likely overly ambitious.

[soniamitchell]

Actually, if you set output: ioslides_presentation: keep_md: true, then substitute out the ### <b> lines before generating the html, that might work.

[soniamitchell]

This fix broke html slide generation on the website.
