CSS

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheet, and turns...

functional, but dull HTML (content)...

Title slide with no formatting

...into HTML (content) with style! 😎

Title slide with styling including a background image, cutom fonts, and content placement

Remark helps us:

  • create a new kind of slide using Markdown syntax and slide properties
  • format slides (e.g. with content alignment)
  • present (using keyboard shortcuts)

Let's get started!

Restart your R session Ctrl + Shift + F10

Open 01-introduction/01-start.Rmd

Run xaringan::infinite_moon_reader() to preview the slides
