#' Convert to a reveal.js presentation
#'
#' Format for converting from R Markdown to a reveal.js presentation.
#'
#' @inheritParams rmarkdown::beamer_presentation
#' @inheritParams rmarkdown::pdf_document
#' @inheritParams rmarkdown::html_document
#'
#' @param center \code{TRUE} to vertically center content on slides
#' @param theme Visual theme ("default", "simple", sky", "beige", "serif", or
#'   "solarized").
#' @param transition Slide transition ("default", "cube", "page", "concave",
#'   "zoom", "linear", "fade", or "none")
#' @param template Pandoc template to use for rendering. Pass "default"
#'   to use the rmarkdown package default template; pass \code{NULL}
#'   to use pandoc's built-in template; pass a path to use a custom template
#'   that you've created. Note that if you don't use the "default" template
#'   then some features of \code{revealjs_presentation} won't be available
#'   (see the Templates section below for more details).
#'
#' @return R Markdown output format to pass to \code{\link{render}}
#'
#' @details
#'
#' In reveal.js presentations you can use level 1 or level 2 headers for
#' slides. If you use a mix of level 1 and level 2 headers then a
#' two-dimensional layout will be produced, with level 1 headers building
#' horizontally and level 2 headers building vertically.
#'
#' For more information on markdown syntax for presentations see
#' \href{http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/demo/example9/producing-slide-shows-with-pandoc.html}{producing
#' slide shows with pandoc}.
#'
#' @section Templates:
#'
#' You can provide a custom HTML template to be used for rendering. The syntax
#' for templates is described in the documentation on
#' \href{http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/demo/example9/templates.html}{pandoc
#' templates}. You can also use the basic pandoc template by passing
#' \code{template = NULL}.
#'
#' Note however that if you choose not to use the "default" reveal.js template
#' then several aspects of reveal.js presentation rendering will behave
#' differently:
#'
#' \itemize{
#'   \item{The \code{center} parameter does not work (you'd need to
#'      set this directly in the template).
#'   }
#'   \item{The built-in template includes some additional tweaks to styles
#'      to optimize for output from R, these won't be present.
#'   }
#'   \item{MathJax will not work if \code{self_contained} is \code{TRUE}
#'      (these two options can't be used together in normal pandoc templates).
#'   }
#' }
