Pandoc：将Markdown转为Beamer

  • Pandoc is a universal document converter! It is a Haskell library for converting from one markup format to another, and a command-line tool that uses this library.

  • Pandoc document: https://pandoc.org/#

  • Here, I'll introduce how to convert my daily markdown notes into Beamer for weekly presentations.

General usage

pandoc -f markdown -t beamer -o OutputFile -s InputFile

  • -o specified the output file;
  • -s indicated outputting the completed file.

Beamer structure

In default configure, every content under a first head (# first head) will be converted into one frame (slide).

Also, it can be customized by --slide-level n, where n is the level of heads.

Customize Your Beamer

Suggest to use meta-data that define in markdown.

Notifications
