Subtitle in R Markdown/pandoc/slidy document?

[Michael Hannon]

Greetings. Is there a way to specify a subtitle for Markdown/pandoc/slidy
slides?

Putting the following at the beginning of the R Markdown file works fine:

% Stat 314159
% Michael Hannon
% 2013/06/18

but I want to get a description of the course as a subtitle. I noticed that
continuation lines are allowed in pandoc, as:

% Stat 314159
    An Introduction to Uniformly Most Wonderful Estimators
% Michael Hannon
% 2013/06/18

but they don't provide a newline in the output. I.e., the result is:

Stat 314159 An Introduction to Uniformly Most Wonderful Estimators
Michael Hannon
2013/06/18

I'd like to get the output to look something like:

Stat 314159
An Introduction to Uniformly Most Wonderful Estimators
Michael Hannon
2013/06/18

I.e., the course name and description would be on separate lines. Can I do
this?

Thanks.

you can define your own tag and pass it with -V to pandoc, e.g.

variable: address="3, Earth St, the Moon"

in your config file (and appropriate use in the template file).

HTH,

Thanks, Baptiste.  In this case I used the command:

pandoc -s -S -i -t slidy --mathjax --variable title:"Stat 314159<br>An Introduction to Uniformly Most Wonderful Estimators" test.md -o test-slides.html

i.e., inserting the HTML tag "<br>" in the middle of the title.  That worked just fine.

Interesting. I'm curious if this also works:

% Stat 314159 <br>

An Introduction to Uniformly Most Wonderful Estimators

% Michael Hannon
% 2013/06/18

Doh!  Yes, of course it does!  Thanks, Yihui.

If you are looking to create HTML5 slide decks purely from R without any pandoc dependency, I can recommend Slidify, an R package that I authored.

You can get some idea of different styles by browsing through the examples here"

http://ramnathv.github.io/slidifyExamples/

It doesn't support Slidy currently, but it is easy enough to add, if you have a strong preference for Slidy.
