This repository provides an R Markdown custom format for reveal.js HTML presentations. The packages includes reveal.js library in version 4.6.1
You can use this format in R Markdown documents by installing this package as follows:
devtools::install_git("https://korap.ids-mannheim.de/gerrit/IDS-Mannheim/revealjs")
To create a reveal.js presentation from R Markdown you specify the revealjs_presentation
output format in the front-matter of your document. You can create a slide show broken up into sections by using the #
and ##
heading tags (you can also create a new slide without a header using a horizontal rule (----
). For example here’s a simple slide show:
--- title: "Habits" author: John Doe date: March 22, 2005 output: revealjs::revealjs_presentation --- # In the morning ## Getting up - Turn off alarm - Get out of bed ## Breakfast - Eat eggs - Drink coffee # In the evening ## Dinner - Eat spaghetti - Drink wine ## Going to sleep - Get in bed - Count sheep
Depending on your use case, there are 3 ways you can render the presentation.
When creating the presentation in RStudio, there will be a Knit
button right below the source tabs. By default, it will render the current document and place the rendered HTML
file in the same directory as the source file, with the same name.
The Knit
button is actually calling the rmarkdown::render()
function. So, to render the document within the R console:
rmarkdown::render('my_reveal_presentation.Rmd')
There are many other output tweaks you can use by directly calling render
. You can read up on the documentation for more details.
When you need the presentation to be rendered from the command line:
Rscript -e "rmarkdown::render('my_reveal_presentation.Rmd')"
The following single character keyboard shortcuts enable alternate display modes:
'f'
enable fullscreen mode
'o'
enable overview mode
'b'
enable pause mode with a black screen hiding slide content
'?'
enable help mode to show keyboard shortcut cheatsheet
's'
enable presentation mode with speaker notes when the Notes plugin is activated
'm'
enable menu mode when the ‘menu’ plugin is activated
Pressing Esc
exits all of these modes.
You can render bullets incrementally by adding the incremental
option:
--- output: revealjs::revealjs_presentation: incremental: true ---
If you want to render bullets incrementally for some slides but not others you can use this syntax:
::: incremental - Eat spaghetti - Drink wine :::
or
::: nonincremental - Eat spaghetti - Drink wine :::
You can also add pauses between content on a slide using . . .
# Slide header Content shown first . . . Content shown next on the same slide
Using Fragments explicitly is also possible
# Slide header Content shown first ::: fragment Content shown next on the same slide :::
There are several options that control the appearance of revealjs presentations:
theme
specifies the theme to use for the presentation (available themes are “ids”, “simple”, “dark”, “black”, “sky”, “beige”, “serif”, “solarized”, “blood”, “moon”, “night”, “league”, or “white”
highlight
specifies the syntax highlighting style. Supported styles include “default”, “tango”, “pygments”, “kate”, “monochrome”, “espresso”, “zenburn”, “haddock”, or “breezedark”. Pass null to prevent syntax highlighting.
center
specifies whether you want to vertically center content on slides (this defaults to false).
For example:
output: revealjs::revealjs_presentation: theme: sky highlight: pygments center: true
Revealjs documentation about themes
You can use the transition
and background_transition
options to specify the global default slide transition style:
transition
specifies the visual effect when moving between slides. Available transitions are “convex”, “fade”, “slide”, “concave”, “zoom”, or “none”.
background_transition
specifies the background transition effect when moving between full page slides. Available transitions are “convex”, “fade”, “slide”, “concave”, “zoom”, or “none”
For example:
output: revealjs::revealjs_presentation: transition: fade background_transition: slide
You can override the global transition for a specific slide by using the data-transition attribute, for example:
## Use a zoom transition {data-transition="zoom"} ## Use a faster speed {data-transition-speed="fast"}
You can also use different in and out transitions for the same slide, for example:
## Fade in, Slide out {data-transition="slide-in fade-out"} ## Slide in, Fade out {data-transition="fade-in slide-out"}
This works also for background transition
## Use a zoomed background transition {data-background-transition="zoom"}
Revealjs documentation about transitions
Slides are contained within a limited portion of the screen by default to allow them to fit any display and scale uniformly. You can apply full page backgrounds outside of the slide area by adding a data-background attribute to your slide header element. Four different types of backgrounds are supported: color, image, video and iframe. Below are a few examples.
## CSS color background {data-background-color=#ff0000} ## Full size image background {data-background-image="background.jpeg"} ## Video background {data-background-video="background.mp4"} ## Embed a web page as a background {data-background-iframe="https://example.com"}
Backgrounds transition using a fade animation by default. This can be changed to a linear sliding transition by specifying the background-transition: slide
. Alternatively you can set data-background-transition
on any slide with a background to override that specific transition.
Revealjs documentation about backgrounds
You can use the slide_level
option to specify which level of heading will be used to denote individual slides. If slide_level
is 2 (the default), a two-dimensional layout will be produced, with level 1 headers building horizontally and level 2 headers building vertically. For example:
# Horizontal Slide 1 ## Vertical Slide 1 ## Vertical Slide 2 # Horizontal Slide 2
With this layout horizontal navigation will proceed directly from “Horizontal Slide 1” to “Horizontal Slide 2”, with vertical navigation to “Vertical Slide 1”, etc. presented as an option on “Horizontal Slide 1”. Global reveal option navigationMode
can be tweaked to change this behavior.
Reveal.js has many additional options to configure it’s behavior. You can specify any of these options using reveal_options
, for example:
--- title: "Habits" output: revealjs::revealjs_presentation: self_contained: false reveal_options: slideNumber: true previewLinks: true ---
You can find documentation on the various available Reveal.js options here: https://revealjs.com/config/.
There are a number of options that affect the output of figures within reveal.js presentations:
fig_width
and fig_height
can be used to control the default figure width and height (7x5 is used by default)
fig_retina
Specifies the scaling to perform for retina displays (defaults to 2, which currently works for all widely used retina displays). Note that this only takes effect if you are using knitr >= 1.5.21. Set to null
to prevent retina scaling.
fig_caption
controls whether figures are rendered with captions
For example:
--- title: "Habits" output: revealjs::revealjs_presentation: fig_width: 7 fig_height: 6 fig_caption: true ---
By default MathJax scripts are included in reveal.js presentations for rendering LaTeX and MathML equations. You can use the mathjax
option to control how MathJax is included:
Specify “default” to use an https URL from the official MathJax CDN.
Specify “local” to use a local version of MathJax (which is copied into the output directory). Note that when using “local” you also need to set the self_contained
option to false.
Specify an alternate URL to load MathJax from another location.
Specify null to exclude MathJax entirely.
For example, to use a local copy of MathJax:
--- title: "Habits" output: revealjs::revealjs_presentation: mathjax: local self_contained: false ---
To use a self-hosted copy of MathJax:
--- title: "Habits" output: revealjs::revealjs_presentation: mathjax: "http://example.com/mathjax/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML" ---
To exclude MathJax entirely:
--- title: "Habits" output: revealjs::revealjs_presentation: mathjax: null ---
By default R Markdown produces standalone HTML files with no external dependencies, using data: URIs to incorporate the contents of linked scripts, stylesheets, images, and videos. This means you can share or publish the file just like you share Office documents or PDFs. If you’d rather keep dependencies in external files you can specify self_contained: false
. For example:
--- title: "Habits" output: revealjs::revealjs_presentation: self_contained: false ---
Note that even for self contained documents MathJax is still loaded externally (this is necessary because of it’s size). If you want to serve MathJax locally then you should specify mathjax: local
and self_contained: false
.
One common reason keep dependencies external is for serving R Markdown documents from a website (external dependencies can be cached separately by browsers leading to faster page load times). In the case of serving multiple R Markdown documents you may also want to consolidate dependent library files (e.g. Bootstrap, MathJax, etc.) into a single directory shared by multiple documents. You can use the lib_dir
option to do this, for example:
--- title: "Habits" output: revealjs::revealjs_presentation: self_contained: false lib_dir: libs ---
You can enable various reveal.js plugins using the reveal_plugins
option. Plugins currently supported include:
Plugin | Description |
---|---|
notes | Present per-slide notes in a separate browser window. Open Note view pressing S . |
zoom | Zoom in and out of selected content with Alt+Click. |
search | Find a text string anywhere in the slides and show the next occurrence to the user. Open search box using CTRL + SHIFT + F . |
chalkboard | Include handwritten notes within a presentation. Press c to write on slides, Press b to open a whiteboard or chalkboard to write. |
menu | Include a navigation menu within a presentation. Press m to open the menu. |
Note that the use of plugins requires that the self_contained
option be set to false. For example, this presentation includes both the “notes” and “search” plugins:
--- title: "Habits" output: revealjs::revealjs_presentation: self_contained: false reveal_plugins: ["notes", "search"] ---
You can specify additional options for the chalkboard
and menu
plugins using reveal_options
, for example:
--- title: "Habits" output: revealjs::revealjs_presentation: self_contained: false reveal_plugins: ["chalkboard", "menu"] reveal_options: chalkboard: theme: whiteboard toggleNotesButton: false menu: side: right ---
No other plugins can be added in revealjs_presentation()
. You can open feature request for new plugins or you would need to use a custom template to write your own HTML format including custom plugins.
You can do more advanced customization of output by including additional HTML content or by replacing the core pandoc template entirely. To include content in the document header or before/after the document body you use the includes
option as follows:
--- title: "Habits" output: revealjs::revealjs_presentation: includes: in_header: header.html before_body: doc_prefix.html after_body: doc_suffix.html ---
If there are pandoc features you want to use that lack equivalents in the YAML options described above you can still use them by passing custom pandoc_args
. For example:
--- title: "Habits" output: revealjs::revealjs_presentation: pandoc_args: [ "--title-prefix", "Foo", "--id-prefix", "Bar" ] ---
Documentation on all available pandoc arguments can be found in the pandoc user guide.
If you want to specify a set of default options to be shared by multiple documents within a directory you can include a file named _output.yaml
within the directory. Note that no YAML delimiters or enclosing output object are used in this file. For example:
_output.yaml
revealjs::revealjs_presentation: theme: sky transition: fade highlight: pygments
All documents located in the same directory as _output.yaml
will inherit it’s options. Options defined explicitly within documents will override those specified in the shared options file.
