Short note on bueatiful Producing Beamer slide shows from markdown using Pandoc<\/p>","content":"
Pandoc is a Haskell library for converting from one markup format to another, and a command-line tool that uses this library.<\/p>\n
You can use pandoc to produce an HTML<\/span> + JavaScript slide presentation that can be viewed via a web browser. There are five ways to do this, using S5<\/a>, DZSlides<\/a>, Slidy<\/a>, Slideous<\/a>, or reveal.js<\/a>. You can also produce a PDF<\/span> slide show using LaTeX This article mainly covers generating slides in LaTeX If you are not familiar with markdown, you can take a look at the following markdown source for a simple beamer slide show, The slides generated from this markdown can bee seen here<\/a><\/p>\n When you compare the source and the resulting pdf that it generates, you notice the general rules that a markdown document follows.<\/p>\n For instance, you can create a slide show broken up into sections (slides) by using the # tag and you can use ## tags for sub heading. You can also create a new slide without a header using a horizontal rule (—-). You can insert latex equations by going to math mode (Insert the equation in $ $ )<\/p>\n To produce an HTML<\/span>\/JavaScript slide show, simply run the following command in your favourite terminal:<\/p>\n where To produce a PDF<\/span> slide show using LaTeX Note that a reveal.js slide show can also be converted to a PDF<\/span> by printing it to a file from the browser.<\/p>\n To produce a Powerpoint slide show, type<\/p>\n You get the idea.<\/p>\n By default, the slide level<\/em> is the highest heading level in the hierarchy that is followed immediately by content, and not another heading, somewhere in the document. In the example above, level-1 headings are always followed by level-2 headings, which are followed by content, so the slide level is 2. This default can be overridden using the The document is carved up into slides according to the following rules:<\/p>\n These rules are designed to support many different styles of slide show. If you don\u2019t care about structuring your slides into sections and subsections, you can just use level-1 headings for all each slide. (In that case, level-1 will be the slide level.) But you can also structure the slide show into sections, as in the example above.<\/p>\n Note: in reveal.js slide shows, if slide level is 2, a two-dimensional layout will be produced, with level-1 headings building horizontally and level-2 headings building vertically. It is not recommended that you use deeper nesting of section levels with reveal.js.<\/p>\n By default, these writers produces lists that display “all at once”. If you want your lists to display incrementally (one item at a time), use the In this way incremental and non-incremental lists can be mixed in a\nsingle document.<\/p>\n To style beamer slides, you can specify a beamer \u201ctheme\u201d or \u201ccolortheme\u201d using the for more settings visit Pandoc Manual<\/a> and bookdown.org<\/a> <\/p>","category":[{"@attributes":{"term":"Blog"}},{"@attributes":{"term":"Pandoc"}},{"@attributes":{"term":"slides"}},{"@attributes":{"term":"markdown"}}]},{"title":"Extending Desktop to another device over VNC","link":{"@attributes":{"href":"https:\/\/ashwinschronicles.github.io\/extending-desktop-to-another-device-over-vnc","rel":"alternate"}},"published":"2020-02-05T00:00:00+05:30","updated":"2020-02-05T00:00:00+05:30","author":{"name":"Ashwin"},"id":"tag:ashwinschronicles.github.io,2020-02-05:\/extending-desktop-to-another-device-over-vnc","summary":" This post details the procedure to Extending Desktop to another device over VNC<\/span> or other protocol in Linux<\/p>","content":" If you have an old tablet or old laptop, you might want to put it to good use by using its display as a secondary screen to your primary laptop.
