Abstract

The xaringan package by YiHui Xie lets R users and R Markdown authors easily blend data, text, plots and htmlwidgets into beautiful HTML presentations that look great on the web, in print, and on screens.

Together we’ll create a completely customized xaringan slide style with xaringanthemer, a package that lets you quickly create a complete slide theme from only a few color choices. Then we’ll talk about how you can take your slide design one step further with just a little bit of CSS.
