Hi Jeff

Will you be pushing the week 6 lectures to github?

Cheers.

Hi, i'm start working wih slidify, my question is: How did you convert the .Rmd file in a .pdf file?

Thanks.

Modify README.md to initiate slidify library prior to using slidify.

library(slidify)
slidify("index.Rmd")
browseURL("index.html")

First time using github — apologies for any errors in commenting, etiquette, etc.

I saw a couple of students raise the issue of links not being clickable in the pdf version. I am investigating how to modify the print css so that links are clickable (I am not even sure if it is possible).

In the mean-time a quick fix is to include the following css in assets/css/custom.css

@media print {
  a:after {
   content: " (" attr(href) ")";
   font-size: 10px;
  }
}

This would print the link along with the title in the pdf print version so that users can copy-paste the link. This is sub-optimal, but a viable solution at this stage.

It's very helpful to have the pdfs in one location, but it would be even better if the week and lecture number prefixed the title so they could be sorted. The following shell code is one way to do the renaming.

for w in 1 2 ; do 
  ( cd week${w}
    for n in 0* ; do
      lnum=$(echo ${n} | cut -c 1-3)
      lnam=$(echo ${n} | cut -c 4-)
      ( cd ../pdfs
         git mv ${lnam}.pdf ${w}${lnum}-${lnam}.pdf )
    done )
done
