4.2.2 Adjusting font-size in ioslides using R Markdown about rmarkdown-book HOT 3 CLOSED

If you want to change the size of individual lines of text, you will have to delve into some custom HTML. Here are some examples based on this Stackoverflow question:

---
title: "Untitled"
output: ioslides_presentation
---

```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = FALSE)
```

## Font Sizes

- Standard font
- <span style="color:red">Change the font colour</span>
- <font size="1">This is some text size 1!</font>
- <font size="1">This is some text size 1!</font>
- <font size="2">This is some text size 2!</font>
- <font size="3">This is some text size 3!</font>
- <font size="4">This is some text size 4!</font>
- <font size="5">This is some text size 5!</font>

Hope that helps!

As a tip, Stackoverflow is a good place if you are looking for general guidance. GitHub issues are less monitored, and are better used if there is a suspected bug or issue with the package or software. You may also consider https://community.rstudio.com for questions.

Thanks, @mikey-harper True, I hadn't tried HTML tags yet. I was looking for Markdown-based shortcuts and skipped checking out the most obvious option!

Markdown by design only allows a limited amount of formatting. But its power comes from this simplicity :)

The cheatsheet sets out pretty much all the built-in formatting: http://www.rstudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/rmarkdown-cheatsheet-2.0.pdf .
