UIUC Themes for R Markdown (uiucthemes)

The uiucthemes package includes my collection of UIUC themed templates.

Presently, only the UIUC Beamer Theme is embedded within the package.

UIUC Beamer Theme - Example

Within an RMarkdown file, add the following:

---
title: "UIUC Beamer Theme"
short-title: "Beamer Slides"
author: "John and Mary Doe"
short-author: "J & M Doe"
date: 'November 05, 2017'      # Month DD, YYYY (Main Slide)
short-date: '11/05/2017' # MM/DD/YYYY (Lower Right)
institute: "University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign"
short-institute: "UIUC"
department: "Department of Magic"                # Institute must be defined
license: "Did you license this slide deck? "
section-titles: false                            # Provides slide headings
safe-columns: true                               # Enables special latex macros for columns.
output: 
   uiucthemes::uiuc_beamer

#### Title for block box

Content inside of a box 

### \LaTeX

\begin{exampleblock}{Binomial Theorem}
\begin{equation} 
  f\left(k\right) = \binom{n}{k} p^k\left(1-p\right)^{n-k}
  \label{eq:binom}
\end{equation} 
\end{exampleblock}

Hello Equation \ref{eq:binom}

### Redux \LaTeX 

This theme supports special LaTeX macros `\beingcols` and `\endcols` that allows
for markdown to be blended with LaTeX without triggering the [`raw_tex`](http://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#raw-tex) 
extension. To enable this feature, the `safe-columns` key in the YML head matter
must be set equal to `true`.

\begincols

\column{.49\linewidth}

- _Hello!_

\column{.49\linewidth}

1. **Goodbye!**

\endcols

Note: You will also need to save the ilogo.pdf file to the folder with the RMarkdown document. The need for this is negated under the instructions given at the end (RStudio creation & using rmarkdown::draft().
