Introduction

Nice features

  • The header contains reasonable parameters for different types of compilations with knitr (pdf report, html report, slidy presentation, …)
  • automatic update of the compilation date
  • floating table of contents for HTML slides
  • code folding (collapsed by default) enables to see the code used to generate the report, whilst preserving a nice HTML report (does not work for pdf or word exports)

Could be improved

  • export of pdf slides
  • slides with two columns (one for the text and one for figures

Tuning

  • self_contained: yes makes a self-contained HTML, whcih is heavier (>2Mb even for very small report) but can be sent by email
