Build, print, and deploy xaringan slides automatically

Repo for Slides

This is where I put my HTML slides.
The slides are generated and deployed to my web page by Travis-CI. By setting up Travis-CI, I only have to update the source Rmd file and push the changes to GitHub without knitting slides to HTML locally.

I also set up decktape to print HTML slides to PDF after they are built. Have a look at files below to see how this is achieved.

• .travis.yml
• list.txt: Slide directory names and date
• build-slide.sh: Build and print new slide; download previous rendered slides
• after_knit.sh: Write web page to link to slides

Steps to Update Slides

The First Time

1. Write xaringan slides in Rmd
2. knit it (only the first time is needed, so dependencies can be generated)
3. Add new entries in list.txt
4. Push to GitHub

Later

1. Update xaringan slides in Rmd
2. Push changes to GitHub
