toc, df_print, and bibliography fields do not work properly in rmarkdown::powerpoint_presentation()

[jooyoungseo]

Hello,

I am using R x64 3.4.3 and Pandoc 2.1 in Windows 10 (x64).

I have found some issues with rmarkdown::powerpoint_presentation():

1. 'toc=TRUE' parameter does not affect a converted result.

2. Inserted citation using BiTeX (e.g., @key) does not appear in converted PPT content while it does at the end of powerpoint as a reference list.

3. df_print: "tibble" field in YAML causes some issue when rendered while rmarkdown::powerpoint_presentation(df_print = "tibble") does not.

4. df_print: "kable" is not automatically applied to a data.frame in Rmd document.

For example, the following is not rendered into a kable object while the df_print is set to "kable."

```{r example}
(x <- airquality)
class(x)

Still, you should manually surround the data.frame object with knitr::kable().

The following is my R session info.

@jooyoungseo the Powerpoint format has its own subset of rules. A good source of documentation (which also provides some pointers on what's possible) can be found on this support page:

https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/360004672913-Rendering-PowerPoint-presentations-with-RStudio

Tables, in particular, can be kable tables, Markdown tables, or the tables specified in this Pandoc document: http://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#tables.

The option toc: true should work. I believe I just tested not too long ago.
