This package generates minimal slideshows from a Carpentries Workbench lesson, in order to facilitate teaching workshops.
- A title slide for each episode
- A slide for each figure in the lesson
- A slide for each challenge block
- A slide for each discussion point
From R:
options(repos = c(
carpentries = "https://carpentries.r-universe.dev/",
CRAN = "https://cran.rstudio.com/"
))

The main bulk of Carpentries workshops should still be live coding. However, it is a common and accepted practice that certain parts of a workshop can be presented using slides.

The Workbench maintenance team didn't have time to address my proposed feature: carpentries/workbench#78 (comment). However, I'm very open to merging this into the Workbench when it becomes possible
It's true that this button helps present figures, but I find that opening an image viewer in a workshop doesn't feel as polished as a slideshow. In addition, there is other content that is useful to be included in the slides, as noted above
