R Presentation - reference css template with web link

Question

I am creating an R Presentation, but I cannot find a way to use a css template stored on a website.

This works:

 Title
 ========================================================
 author: Me
 date: Jan 9, 2015
 transition: none
 css: /Users/user/template.css

But this does not work:

Title
========================================================
author: Me
date: Jan 9, 2015
transition: none
css: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2364714/template.css

It also does not work if I put the url in quotation marks, or if I move the file to a http instead of https link.

Use a path relative to your document. For instance, if your document is "/Users/user/foo.Rpres", and your CSS is "/Users/user/template.css", does just `css: template.css` work? — Jonathan, Jan 12 '15 at 22:01
@Yihiu I cannot store the .css file locally, any way to link to a .css with a web link? — user3874377, Jan 13 '15 at 21:03

I previously had issues with linking to https images. That could be the problem here.

This works for me. The trick was the : after ioslides_presentation. This is in the YAML part.

output: 
 ioslides_presentation:
   css: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/.....

There is no YAML metadata on R Presentations it seems. This is not an iosslides_presentation. @Sharon – user3874377 Jan 18 '15 at 17:12
