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...
