Features

This is a draft highlighting key features of slidify.

1. Author using markdown.
2. Embed Code Chunks with knitr
3. Style using frameworks
4. Customize using layouts
5. Extend using widgets
6. Publish using git

I think three features set slidify apart from the rest of the HTML5 to Markdown converters.

1. Layouts (showoff has it, but is limited in terms of features and does not allow inheritance)
2. Widgets (idea stolen from ruhoh, but makes slidify easy to extend)

Here is a more detailed description about the key selling points of slidify.

1. Supports multiple HTML5 frameworks.
2. Syntax highlighting out of the box (highlight.js, prettify, highlightR)
3. Finer control over slide design using layouts.
4. Extend functionality easily with widgets.
5. Publish easily (gh-pages, heroku, dropbox, rpubs)

Points to Highlight

1. Slidify makes it easy to author a presentation by writing your slides in markdown.
2. Slidify uses knitr to execute code chunks written in multiple programming languages and weaving the output seamlessly to create reproducible slide decks.
