Just to follow-up and expand. It looks like slidy is an interface for Rstudio to a number of html slide (javascript) libraries, and uses markdown as it markup language, while providing the ability to execute R code interspersed with the markup (literate programming/reproducable results) Org is it's own markup language and allow interspersing executable code (and its output) in a literate, reproducable way (babel). Including, but not limited to, R. In addion org has export interfaces to multiple output types. For slideshow there are (at least): - ox-s5 - ox-deck - ox-reveal - beamer As well as pdf, html and others. So it doesn't seem to make sense to use org as a frontend to Rstudio, but i may be wrong... rick
