Open and preview this slide deck: 01-introduction/01-start.Rmd

Restart your R session and run xaringan::infinite_moon_reader() to preview the slides rendered in HTML.

xaringan scavenger hunt!

Explore the HTML slide deck and see if you can identify the following classes and features built into xaringan, then check the Rmd file to see if you were correct.

  • lists (ordered and unordered)
  • quotes inserted with >
  • .pull-left[] and .pull-right[]
  • .left-column[] and .right-column[]
  • .right[]
  • .footnote[]
  • images inserted with background-image: or ![alt](url)
  • slide classes like inverse, middle, center
  • horizontal bars using ---
  • presenter notes using ??? (hint: press the letter P)

Bonus: Play around with some of the YAML parameters
