Get Started
Create a new R Markdown document from the File menu
In RStudio…
- `New File -> R Markdown
- From Template -> Slide template for Duke University {dukeslides}` > OK
- Edit your R Markdown file
- Click the “Knit” button in the script editor to render the document
This will generate a plain-text .Rmd file in the script editor showing each slide separated by ---. You must keep the YAML header but you can edit the values in the header.
Using plain text and R Markdown you can customize the slide template. Importantly, this template doubles as both a demonstration and documentation. Knitting the file will generate slide output as an HTML file (with supporting files) showing the rendered output as a demonstration and documentation.
Edit to your hearts delight. You cannot mess up the template. Simply re-execute step one, above, you’ll have a new .Rmd file with the demonstration/instructions.
