## Convert to a slidy presentation

### Description

Format for converting from R Markdown to a slidy presentation.

### Usage

    slidy_presentation(incremental = FALSE, duration = NULL, footer = NULL,
      font_adjustment = 0, fig_width = 8, fig_height = 6, fig_retina = 2,
      fig_caption = TRUE, dev = "png", df_print = "default", smart = TRUE,
      self_contained = TRUE, highlight = "default", mathjax = "default",
      template = "default", css = NULL, includes = NULL, keep_md = FALSE,
      lib_dir = NULL, md_extensions = NULL, pandoc_args = NULL,
      extra_dependencies = NULL, ...)

### Arguments

`incremental` | `TRUE` to render slide bullets incrementally. Note that if you want to reverse the default incremental behavior for an individual bullet you can precede it with `>`. For example: `> - Bullet Text`
`duration` | Duration (in minutes) of the slide deck. This value is used to add a countdown timer to the slide footer.
`footer` | Footer text (e.g. organization name and/or copyright)
`font_adjustment` | Increase or decrease the default font size (e.g. -1 or +1). You can also manually adjust the font size during the presentation using the 'S' (smaller) and 'B' (bigger) keys.
`fig_width` | Default width (in inches) for figures
`fig_height` | Default width (in inches) for figures
`fig_retina` | Scaling to perform for retina displays (defaults to 2, which currently works for all widely used retina displays). Set to `NULL` to prevent retina scaling. Note that this will always be `NULL` when `keep_md` is specified (this is because `fig_retina` relies on outputting HTML directly into the markdown document).
`fig_caption` | `TRUE` to render figures with captions
`dev` | Graphics device to use for figure output (defaults to pdf)
`df_print` | Method to be used for printing data frames. Valid values include "default", "kable", "tibble", and "paged". The "default" method uses `print.data.frame`. The "kable" method uses the `knitr::kable` function. The "tibble" method uses the tibble package to print a summary of the data frame. The "paged" method creates a paginated HTML table (note that this method is only valid for formats that produce HTML). In addition to the named methods you can also pass an arbitrary function to be used for printing data frames. You can disable the df_print behavior entirely by setting the option `rmarkdown.df_print` to `FALSE`.
`smart` | Produce typographically correct output, converting straight quotes to curly quotes, — to em-dashes, – to en-dashes, and ... to ellipses.
`self_contained` | Produce a standalone HTML file with no external dependencies, using data: URIs to incorporate the contents of linked scripts, stylesheets, images, and videos. Note that even for self contained documents MathJax is still loaded externally (this is necessary because of it's size).
`highlight` | Syntax highlighting style. Supported styles include "default", "tango", "pygments", "kate", "monochrome", "espresso", "zenburn", and "haddock". Pass `NULL` to prevent syntax highlighting.
`mathjax` | Include mathjax. The "default" option uses an https URL from a MathJax CDN. The "local" option uses a local version of MathJax (which is copied into the output directory). You can pass an alternate URL or pass `NULL` to exclude MathJax entirely.
`template` | Pandoc template to use for rendering. Pass "default" to use the rmarkdown package default template; pass `NULL` to use pandoc's built-in template; pass a path to use a custom template that you've created. See the documentation on pandoc online documentation for details on creating custom templates.
`css` | One or more css files to include
`includes` | Named list of additional content to include within the document (typically created using the `includes` function).
`keep_md` | Keep the markdown file generated by knitting.
`lib_dir` | Directory to copy dependent HTML libraries (e.g. jquery, bootstrap, etc.) into. By default this will be the name of the document with `_files` appended to it.
`md_extensions` | Markdown extensions to be added or removed from the default definition or R Markdown. See the `rmarkdown_format` for additional details.
`pandoc_args` | Additional command line options to pass to pandoc
`extra_dependencies` | A LaTeX dependency `latex_dependency()`, a list of LaTeX dependencies, a character vector of LaTeX package names (e.g. `c("framed", "hyperref")`), or a named list of LaTeX package options with the names being package names (e.g. `list(hypreref = c("unicode=true", "breaklinks=true"), lmodern = NULL)`). It can be used to add custom LaTeX packages to the .tex header.
`...` | Additional function arguments to pass to the base R Markdown HTML output formatter `html_document_base`
