Can knitrBootstrap make slide decks (ioslides/slidy)? #190

Closed nathancarter closed 8 years ago

This project looks great, thank you for making it. My only question is whether also works for slide decks (ioslides or slidy, the two that come built into RStudio).

Does this project already support that feature and I just missed it?
If not, is such support planned?
If not, do you have tips on what I should do to extend this project to support ioslides/slidy?
Or, if you're aware of another project that meets these needs, that would be great, too.

Thank you very much.

What knitrBootstrap feature are you looking for in a slide deck? Rmarkdown supports nearly all of the features of knitrBootstrap now including floating toc and code folding.

Development on knitrBootstrap is mostly stalled at this point, I have no plans to work on slide support now or in the future.

If you tell me what features you are looking for I can try to point you in the right direction though.

The styles! ioslides and slidy seem to have one style each, and I don't like either. Details at this StackOverflow question.

Whoops...wrong button. Of course, you can close this issue if you want.

You can supply a custom css to both ioslides and slidy and customize the theme how you like.

If you are looking for pre-existing themes both revealjs and beamer have a number of themes to pick from.

Reveal isn't respecting slide_level for me, but I can work on that and check their docs/support.

But supplying a custom css to ioslides/slidy is only good if I have a custom css to provide. I took the bootstrap css files linked to in your source code, which depend on fonts specified by relative paths, so I manually modified them to absolute URLs. Now I can get slidy to compile using those files. That may not have been what you were intending :) but I think I'm all set now. Thanks!
