xaringan 2.0
Published:
Three years ago, I started using xaringan (by Yihui) to make cool slides. User experience has been lovely. And, there are much more we can do with it, in terms of themes, some utility features, and inserting cool/fun trending emojis.
I am in the middle of preparing my Ph.D. dissertation slides and I want to make it professional enough but also joyful to appeal my audience. The first problem is what overall theme I should use. I decided to follow ISU presentation template, in which the background of title slide is a very pretty and fashionable picture of our campus. The second question is what font I should use. I have no idea as I do want to make my content visually professional and joyful.
After deciding the overall theme, I start to look around to see if there are any tutorials that introduce cool and fun features compatible to xaringan slides. And I found a lot. Here just list a few links that are very helpful.
