Standalone HTML with Slidify

This repo is a demo showcasing my attempts to allow standalone HTMLs to be created using Slidify. The modifications I have made to Slidify to support this feature reside in the onefile branch and so you will need to install it first.

devtools:::install_github('ramnathv/slidify@onefile')

This also requires changes to slidifyLibraries. However, I decided not to tamper with it for now, and instead modified a few libraries locally, which are all included with this repo.

How to Test

If you are interested in helping me test this, here is what you need to do

1. Download/Clone this repo.
2. Install the onefile branch of slidify.
3. Add slides to index.Rmd and Slidify.

I have included an NVD3 plot in this presentation. You can check out other rCharts libraries, say MorrisJS. To do this, you will have to do two things

1. In the YAML front matter, do ext_widgets: {rCharts: [libraries/nvd3, libraries/morris]}
2. Make sure you are using myplot$show('inline') in your knitr code chunk.

Notes

This feature is still very raw and so I would use it with caution. Make sure to read the advantages and disadvantages of using DataURIs.
