## R Markdown

This is an R Markdown document.
It is a script written in markdown with the possibility to insert chunk of R code in it.
To insert R code, it needs to be encapsulated into inverted quote.

Like that for a long piece of code:

```{r cars}
summary(cars)
```

And like ``r cat("that")`` for small piece of code.

## Including Plots

You can also embed plots, for example:

```{r echo=FALSE}
plot(pressure)
```

Adding a footer to an ioslides presentation

Adding a footer is not natively possible. Luckily, we can make use of jQuery and CSS to add a footer to the slides of an ioslides presentation rendered with knitr. First of all we have to include the jQuery plugin. This is done by the line

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.2/jquery.min.js"></script>

Now we can use jQuery to alter the DOM (document object model) of our presentation. In other words: we alter the HTML structure of the document. As soon as the presentation is loaded ($(document).ready(function() { ... })), we select all slides, that do not have the class attributes .title-slide, .backdrop, or .segue and add the tag <footer></footer> right before each slide is ‘closed’ (so before </slide>). The attribute label carries the content that will be displayed later on.

All we have to do now is to layout our footer with CSS:

After each <footer> (footer::after):

• display the content of the attribute label
• use font size 12
• position the footer (20 pixels from the bottom of the slide and 60 pxs from the left)

(the other properties can be ignored but might have to be modified if the presentation uses a different style template).

<script>
    $(document).ready(function() {
      $('slide:not(.title-slide, .backdrop, .segue)').append('<footer label=\"My amazing footer!\"></footer>');    
    })
</script>

<style>
  footer:after {
    content: attr(label);
    font-size: 12pt;
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 20px;
    left: 60px;
    line-height: 1.9;
  }
</style>


## Slide 1

This is slide 1.

## Slide 2

This is slide 2

# Test

## Slide 3

And slide 3.

The result will look like this:
