Include standard column breaks

[pabuta88]

Hi,

First of all, thanks a lot for your package, which simplifies working with RMarkdown a lot.

I was wondering whether it would be possible to include similar to the xaringan pull-left and pull-right template a standard way of inserting a column break.

I prefer using ioslides and hence I need to wrap my markdown text and my chunks into html tags. I am not sure yet what would be the best way to include this feature but I guess many people work with separated columns and this would save them a lot of time.

What do you think?

Best, Pascal

Thank you for the suggestion.

Can you give an example of the syntax you would want (before/after type example)

Thank you for your quick reply. I am actually not yet sure what the best way would be to implement it. At the moment, I have something simple in mind like the following

Before:

data(iris)

or

• This is right

After:

<div class="left">
some chunk
</div>

and

 <div class="right">
     * This is right
 </div>

The styling could then be done in the css file. What do you think? Of course it would be nice to have a mask to enter style details like width and float. But I think the most important part would be to wrap it in div-tags (similar to your example of turning selected text into a chunk).

in general terms an addin that wraps text in the following manner could be possible, would it answer your needs?

<div class="CLASSNAME">
  [TEXT]
 </div>

[pabuta88]

exactly. how would you let the user choose the classname in the addin?
