I can achieve this using Slidify (the complicated route), or by passing a different template file. The change is easy to make here in the render method. I would like to avoid having too many different templates.

render = function(chartId = NULL, cdn = F){
    if (!is.null(chartId)) params$dom <<- chartId else chartId <- params$dom
    template = read_template('rChart.html')
    html = render_template(template, list(
      params = params,
      assets = get_assets(lib, cdn),
      chartId = chartId,
      script = .self$html(chartId))
    )
  }

I would side with a few controlled templates for some consistency. I think you as lead get to chose. I would like for all users to channel their design, layout, and creativity into the final rendered chart.

Another candidate for an example page. The key is the layout. I think the chart has to be at the center of it all, with the code coming second. A README can be in the sidebar. I need to find some inspiring examples from visualization gurus to make a wise choice. The good thing is that any of these layouts are really easy to code up, given bootstrap.

Here is a small tweak to the layout. I want to add the following to the mix

1. Data Source
2. Attribution
3. Title
4. Subtitle
5. Links

It is easy to do, but the challenge is to do it in a way that keeps things simple. There are multiple ways to achieve this:

1. R file with metadata in comments (YAML)
2. Rmd file
3. R file and string arguments to the function

The question is which would be easy from a user workflow point of view and lead to ease of use.
