Create an RMarkdown BeamerPoster template

1.8k views Asked by At

I would like to create a BeamerPoster https://www.ctan.org/pkg/beamerposter (or some other a0poster-like poster format) using Rmarkdown. This seems possible reading http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/developer_document_templates.html. Before I start from scratch, I thought I would ask to see if anyone has done this and would share or point me to a template so I do not have to recreate the wheel. Specifically, I would like to modify the BeamerPoster found at https://github.com/STAT-ATA-ASU/STT3851ClassRepo/blob/gh-pages/Poster/PosterTemplate2.Rnw into an Rmarkdown template for creating a poster. The good folks at RStudio have created very nice RMarkdown templates for slides, vignettes, documents, etc. A poster format for RMarkdown would be a fantastic addition ;)

I'm afraid that this is not the direct answer to your question, especially whether there is a Rmarkdown template for BeamerPoster. However, I'm sure that there is a poster format for RMarkdown. Although they are HTML based, they would deserve to be tried:

  1. Brent Thorne's posterdown
  2. rstudio/pagedown by Yihui Xie and Romain Lesur
