(Yes, I know LaTeX styles/stylesheets are a thing, but I've never taken the time to learn them, nor figure out if they can do all the custom formatting a regular. If you want some more serious power about multiple document-type exporting, check out the links in the Acknowledgements section of Acadoc, shown here: It's meant to be quick and easy to use, and theoretically easy to add new recipes to. it uses an intermediary "style/manuscript.tex" file to customize how you want your resulting LaTeX to look - so if you want the same content, but decide the presentation looks better with white-on-black instead of black-on-white, you only need make a few changes and create a "style/manuscript_dark.tex", copy-paste that style in the Makefile, and now you can call "make manuscript_dark". The key thing, though, is that for LaTeX presentations/etc. It lets you call "make beamer", "make manuscript", "make html_presentation", etc., in a directory with Markdown files to turn them all into whatever presentation/manuscript/paper/etc. (shameless plug alert) I wrote a super-simple Makefile script for using Pandoc, called acadoc.

One of my favorite things about it is, if you know you're just going to be exporting to a specific filetype like HTML or LaTeX, you can just plain throw in code for that language directly into the Markdown, and Pandoc will run/include it. It can have good citation processing with cite-proc. It seems to be increasingly popular in academia for handling class notes/slides/papers all in one go.
#Centering text deckset pdf#
Have you tried Pandoc? It's the best, simplest solution I've been able to find for writing content in Markdown, and then almost trivially exporting that same content into PDF manuscripts, or PDF presentations, or HTML presentations, or more, without having to change the source content. lecturer.tex doesn't play well with XeTeX LuaTeX on the other hand is slightly less convenient with fonts) Unfortunately I could not find a satisfying way to typeset source code with syntax highlighting in plain TeX, and also working with modern fonts (TTF/OTF) in TeX is generally a pain (e.g. The idea would have been to use it as a compilation target for Markdown (maybe using Pandoc).
I have experimented with `lecturer.tex` and even plain TeX. Unfortunately I find LaTeX very boilerplate-y, and the de-facto standard for presentations, Beamer, is not easy to customize even the most modern themes are designed with lots of text in mind, and I'd like Deckset-like layout with little text, many headings/large fonts (sometimes more than one section in one slide) and mostly source code. I have also tried to experiment with (La)TeX. I generally dislike HTML-based presenting tools I do not like the idea of using the browser the PDF export is usually hit and miss, and I would not risk going to a venue with broken slides. For instance, I found that very few themes suite my style of presentation and I often wish I could choose different color palettes, or left-align the text in a centered layout (e.g. I really like Deckset, but found it sometimes limiting.
A bit OT: on the subject of presentation tools, I'm struggling to find something that suits me.
