I recently read this tweet from @apreshill that linked to some slides by datalorax covering how to make custom themes for Xaringan, my favorite Rmarkdown presentation package. They’re really good slides and I highly recommend flipping through them.
@datalorax even has a package in development called slidex that converts the content of a PowerPoint to Rmarkdown, but what about the theme? I don’t have a magic package to solve this issue, but I thought I’d outline some steps I use to re-create PowerPoint themes in Xaringan.
