Is there a way to edit the title slide of a R Markdown Slidy Presentation? I am able to add the header, footer, and custom css:
title: \"Slidy Template\"
author:
You can modify the part about title page in the pandoc slidy template, also found with pandoc -D slidy
.
$if(title)$
<div class="slide titlepage">
<h1 class="title">$title$</h1>
$if(subtitle)$
<h1 class="subtitle">$subtitle$</h1>
$endif$
<p class="author">
$for(author)$$author$$sep$<br/>$endfor$
</p>
$if(date)$
<p class="date">$date$</p>
$endif$
</div>
$endif$
Save the resulting file as default.slidy in your pandoc template directory :
$HOME/.pandoc/templates (unix)
C:\Documents And Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\pandoc\templates (windows XP)
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\pandoc\templates (windows 7)
Rmarkdown will not remove the title slide from a slidy presentation if you do not give a title. Simply, remove the title line from the yaml setting and add the first slide to give the details as you please.
