# Adapting the GESIS presentation template to pandoc / Rmarkdown for use with `beamer`
[**Preview**](slides.pdf)
*tested to work with knitr 1.48 & pandoc 3.4 on Windows, pandoc-only or Quarto setups might require adjustments*
This is a simple & unofficial (R)markdown template for creating slides with pandoc and `beamer` in the GESIS presentation layout. It is based on the GESIS template for PowerPoint presentations. The template provided here is based on the `metropolis` theme for `beamer` with minor tweaks and custom background images. The `slides.rmd` file provides a starting point for creating a simple GESIS-themed presentation. All available backgrounds can be found in the `templates` folder.
The aim is to provide a simple template that can be used with pandoc and Rmarkdown to create slides in the GESIS layout without specifying a custom LaTeX template for pandoc. This requires a few awkward workarounds:
- The `background-image` set in the YAML header of the markdown file sets the title slide background image
- The code towards the end of `header-includes` set in the YAML header of the markdown file sets the background image for all other slides
- To change the background image mid-slides, you need to insert raw LaTeX code in the markdown file that ends the current frame, change the background image and start a new frame. This is done with the following code:
`````text
```{=latex}
% Change the background mid-slides
% end the last slide
\end{frame}
% change the background image
\mode\setbgimage{path/to/image}
% start a new slide so that it will end when the next slide starts
\begin{frame}<0| handout:0>
```
`````
- To avoid additional complexity when changing the background, it's best to stick to slide level 1, i.e. use `#` to add a new slide. If you want to use `#` to create a new section, you might need to adjust the code above to end the last block in addition to the frame and start a new one.
- To introduce a new section while keeping the suggested slide level 1, use:
````markdown
# {.plain}
\section{First section}
````
> **Note:** If you do not want to use a "References" slide, as shown in the exmaple, it's best to remove the frame as the LaTeX compiler will throw an error if you try to include an empty list of references.

## TODO
- [ ] Adjust the font size and style to match the GESIS template
- [x] Add a custom title page without an `\hrule` and footer
- [x] Add all background options and adjust as used in the Powerpoint template
- [ ] Custom section background?
- [ ] Put the includes in their own file and include that file in the YAML header
- [ ] Add pure-pandoc + Quarto example files
