Now I understand why all the slides of math professors look the same.

You are right, this is WAY easier than using a GUI for presentations. holy hell. You can just sit down and type up the whole thing simply in one go instead of faffing around in GUI menus. This is the way to do it, sadly I'm out of school now, so I don't need to do them anymore. I wish you could have shown me this in 2012.

lol this is exactly how the presentations of my prof look like

This is so awesome! Now I can version control my presentation files as well.

Just a recommendation, you can use the vim-pandoc plugin to run it inside of vim without the need for a terminal.

Finally, I've been looking for this for over a year now (not actively looking, just keeping my eyes out)... This is awesome! Goodbye Powerpoint, goodbye google slide, welcome pandoc!

Today I made my first beamer with markdown + pandoc! So much more to explore! Thanks Luke!

2 Luke Smith videos in 1 day? This is the best!

*Luke's Photo* Hey kiddo. Come here. I have candy

WOO NEW LUKE SMITH VIDEO!

I don’t know how I got here, but it is awesome.

Thank u! Even though I would never use this for presentations I'd gladly use this for quick slides for studying! and now I also know what the .md files on github really are!

This is awesome Luke! Thanks

as always an amazing video, you saved me ages from googling around, thanks man

Thanks Luke, This is awesome!

Thank you Luke.

I use to use markdown all the time for taking notes in lectures using a program called "Notes-Up" in Elementary OS. That was the first time I learned how to use it and I basically got addicted to using it. I didn't even know that you could make presentations with it.

short and impressive, I like it

Thank you for sharing that. It's quite useful indeed. A question: Is it possible to save the resulting LaTeX (Beamer) file for further tweaking (editing the Beamer file)?

Cool. I'll definitely try this next time I'm making a presentation. Also in case you don't already know: try zz in normal mode of vim (good in situations like 6:26). I just found out about it recently and it's saving me many ctrl-e and ctrl-y presses.

Dude, your videos are making me go insane about minimalism... Why Do YOU Do This To Me! Thanks by the way

This video is awesome. I already organized my notes from classes with section headers in markdown for every powerpoint slide. Now I can run a simple pandoc command and get my teachers slides??? UNLIMITED POWER!!!!!

Thanks Luke!

Great video! Thanks!!!

Awesome, I like this tool.

I have to use this! Thanks!

omg this is how my professors (the good ones) make their presentations.

This is great!

thank you... no more dragging around stuffs in powerpoint

I found out about that some time ago, even made a presentation with it, but I didn't know about these extra options at the beginning.

I so want to make some presentations right now.

I was disappointed to see the picture of you wasn't a frog, but the rest of the presentation was captivating.

Hi Luke, I wonder what's your thoughts on all the different types of markup syntaxes, including markdown, dokuwiki markup, moinmoin markup, zim-wiki markup, and many others. I don't quite understand why people don't just use the same syntax but creating new ones that makes converting one from another such a pain. I noticed that pandoc can't do moinmoin-to-markdown conversion, which kind of makes me don't want to learn moinmoin.

My favorite Linux channel by far

Thank you

How about Latex + Beamer? Or org/markdown + reveal is?

no man should have this much power

what DE are you using ?

aw shiieeeettt Luke with the double *BOMB*

Question question! Can I use my own .sty ?

I LOVE your wallpaper! What is it? Do you have a link please?

holy shit this is so cool

Reinventing the wheel right there Luke ?

Cool bg picture

+10 karma and likeability for Luke because of this vid^^

You got me with your creepy picture LMAO

Thank you Dr. Smith for this tutorial. May you teach us to make the Vim and Pandoc integration on Linux?, thanks a lot.

Is it possible with groff also ?

Can We make a custom footer for the slide? inside the yaml

Can I write an .doc text document using Pandoc?

Can you do more stuff with it than with PowerPoint?

Is Markdown suitable for book writing?

How do you show pdf after each compile update ??

Nice!

SMART BOY

Is it possible for collaborative editing?

Is there any way to insert Latex equations into slides with Markdown?

wuau great , this is so rad dude jeheheheh

How's this compare to something like reveal.js?

I doubt anybody will respond to this but I found a bug/ issue with the above. If you recreate the exact template in the video, but with NO text in the first section, then all subsequent sections AND subsections will appear on separate pages. Only workaround I can find is to just put something (like a period) on the first page in the first section.

Thanks for the video! Just curious: is it a requirement that each item in the YAML front matter is a list? Couldn't you write it as below? --- title: Luke's presentation author: Luke Smith theme: Copenhagen ---

Have you ever taken a look at Emacs' org-mode? It's a similar idea and can also export to latex, but considerably more capable than Markdown. You can do things like embed tables and tick off items in a list.

Which os is that?

I can't seem to get level 2 headings to work with ##. The paragraph just displays as "## Insert title here". Any ideas?

Now i now how to take notes. So now i need a laptop :D

Is there a way to add a logo to every slide?

You can also use Marp which has a better way of managing sections (using the "---" separator instead of section headings). You can't use it with your own editor however, it really lacks a standalone mode for rendering IMO.

I wrote a client script that makes swooping slideshows in 3D, that plays all wasm media types. There are others out there, but I made mine to comply with JSON. Should probably covert it to markdown but I jsut didn't think that far when I started.

What about "mupdf"? Isn't recently videos about it

The hardcore way

what os are you using ?

i really need to know how to change the font-family with this syntax😅

Great video, but I did find the one gotcha or is it a ploy just to get me to watch more of your videos?. If your document does not fit on one slide the bottom gets cut off, with no warning. I do believe there is a way in beamer to do a framebreak but now I have to watch the Latex and beamer videos to figure out how to do it. :)

I wish I had known this in college.

nice thumbnail

Good thing they are available for windows, might be a lot different, but still...

What os, and what key switches?

What's the name of this terminal and theme settings

cool

why not latex

This is 5 parallel universes ahead of us!

Hi. Nice video. It was new for me to know you can make presentations this way. And it seems really cool because either powerpoint or impress feel clunky and uncomfortable for me. Just a question tho, which packages do you need for this to work, apart from pandoc? From the little I know, beamer is latex related, and the texlive-full package is huge, so i'd like to avoid downloading it.

Looks familiar to my prof's notes lol

Great video, I'll definitely use Pandoc+Markdown in my next presentation. I just have one problem, anyone know how to make the automatically added text (like "Figure 1" under the picture) to appear in other language?

This is pretty cool and surprisingly easier/faster than using a WYSIWYJ editor

What I don't like about markdown is, a single newline gets not converted to a newline. Only empty lines do. But there's an option to fix that in pandoc :)

"the t-tag" lol

Спасибо вам за информацию, буду думать и заниматься творчеством! 👏👍 Жду новую информацию по интересным технологиям и среде юникс. ___RUS language___

1 Day to late XD. edit: but thx I will use it in the future.

*Pulls of terabytes (jk) of Haskell libraries since I use dwm not xmonad*

Just tell me, how to use this $H17 with unicode characters. I just refuse to understand why this is such pain in the ass

Hello sir, I'm totally new to this, may I ask you what softwares (tools) are you using in order to write codes, compile it as slides ? Best regards !

What distro is this?

manpandoc reminded me of manbearpig

You say presentations I was expecting a ppt demo.

1:04 Yay, you call it number sign, not hashtag :)

Luke Come back Heaven

Use marp instead - it’s looking so much better

You can use Emacs org with revealjs to create Presentation. Here are some examples: opensource.com/article/18/2/how-create-slides-emacs-org-mode-and-revealjs jr0cket.co.uk/slides/revealjs.html

I want this wallpaper ;(
