Slidify is an R package that converts files written in Markdown into HTML slide shows.

Slidify works with knitr, so you can create reproducible slideshows.

Hosting a Slidify presentation on RPubs

You can host your Slidify presentation on RPubs, so that others can see it. RPubs is a service for hosting knitr Markdown files (e.g. files with the extension .Rmd) over the internet. To post a slideshow called slides.Rmd to RPubs you can simply type:

# Convert the Markdown file into an HTML slideshow
slidify('slides.Rmd', options = list(embed = TRUE))

# Publish the resulting .html file to RPubs
markdown::rpubsUpload('My First Presentation', 'slides.html')

Thanks to Ramnath Vaidyanathan for pointing out this capability.
