Greetings,
I use R quite a bit, and ran into a new exporter sometime last year called Slidify:
Would anyone be able to suggest a good starting place for creating a possible backend exporter for this? RStudio allows this pretty easily, but I really like my prose/code in Orgmode format and working within Emacs. Plus, it allows the obvious benefit of exporting to Beamer or Slidify at will (perhaps with some tweaks).
I planned to look at the existing non-Beamer libraries for reference, but thought it wouldn't hurt to inquire about potential pitfalls based in how Slidify works:
- initializes a git repo with some css/other folders
- creates an index.Rmd file (markdown, which one edits to create presentation)
- spits out an index.html file when you run `slidify("index.Rmd")`
I think the folders in the presentation directory could be initialized and then Org syntax could be converted to R markdown, followed by running the slidify command to compile, but am not sure.
I'm coming from ~zero elisp experience but think this would be a neat hobby project if I could pull it off.
Thanks for any input,
John
