#Editing and Creating a markdown based PDF# ###By Heather Dykstra##

So I've hit a bright red brick wall on getting the slides to happen every 15 seconds...

I posted http://www.reddit.com/r/LaTeX/comments/1cyc14/presentation_with_beamer_file_help_needed/ but I still don't have all the materials I need...

I'm going to create a repo with what I have now, at slychika/CSCI3155PDF

If you like the idea of the pdf-presenter-console you MUST install/run it on ubuntu (so our virtual boxes will work fine). This feature allows for a timer to run on your main comp while you present and shows how much time you have left. It is really cool but the software isn't as functional as I would like it to be. I emailed the guy behind it, so we shall see if that goes anywhere. crosses fingers

If you decide to use my beamer and generate, PLEASE change the color or text or theme (just because I spent a lot of time getting it to work and I am really happy with what I have now, and Its really easy to change.) (You must also change the content of the .md file, most of that is just garbage right now anyway)

Potential colors/fonts/themes are found here:

http://deic.uab.es/~iblanes/beamer_gallery/individual/AnnArbor-wolverine-structurebold.html

##CHANGE THE FONT OR COLOR:## Just edit the talk.beamer file (below are the first 6 lines where the edit needs to be made):

\documentclass[$if(fontsize)$$fontsize$,$endif$$if(handout)$handout,$endif$$if(beamer)$ignorenonframetext,$endif$]{$documentclass$}

$if(theme)$

\usetheme{$theme$}

$endif$

\usecolortheme{beaver} %Change this if not in Heather's group

\usefonttheme{structuresmallcapsserif} %Change this if not in Heather's group

##CHANGE THE THEME:## you can also edit line 13 in generate

pan_args = ["pandoc", "-f", "markdown", "-V", "theme:Dresden"]

and change "theme:Dresden" to whichever theme you liked from the above website.

##OTHER INFO:## I included everything you really need as a final slide in my pdf (slide 21) (it is also at the bottom of the .md file)

Note that if you change the name of any file you have to change it everywhere it is called.

I think there were a few other small dependencies that i may have had to install to get generate to work, but I think that is explained in Baker's readme.

Alright, I think that is it. If any of you get a slide timer to run, post to piazza and push to edit this! Let me know if you have any other questions!

Good luck, and DFTBA,

Heather
