author: Ilenia Salvadori title: My Awesome Presentation ! institute: Data In Motion Consulting GmbH theme: Berlin - # Slide 1 This is my first slide The only thing that you need to do is to specify the target format when invoking Pandoc from the command line. I went a bit through the Pandoc documentation and I found out that there is actually the possibility to convert markdown to beamer. tex file which made use of the beamer package. What I needed, instead, was to be able to convert my markdown document into a. However, this does not produce a slide-like document, but rather a standard LaTeX one. tex file, that you can easily convert to a PDF with tools like pdflatex. Once you have Pandoc installed, you can simply write your markdown document in Typora, and then export it in LaTeX. It allows you to convert a wide variety of formats into other ones. This is the tool which does the actual conversion work under the hood. So I started experimenting a bit, and I wanted to share with you what I found out, in the hope that it could be useful to someone else as well.įirst of all, to be able to use some of the Typora exports functionalities, including the LaTeX one, you need Pandoc. I am quite found of Typora as Markdown editor, as it is very intuitive to use, and provides a lot of cool functionalities.Īmong them, one over all grabbed my attention: the possibility to directly convert Markdown into LaTeX! In these two years as a software developer, I became quite familiar with Markdown, instead, which has, on the contrary, a pretty straightforward syntax and allows you to easily document your code and prepare notes. The only problem I had with LaTeX is that sometimes the syntax can be quite hard to master, and you could end up spending a lot of time rendering things exactly how you wanted to. Its beamer package, in particular, is quite famous for making presentations, as it comes with a lot of different and elegant styles. I, personally, as coming from an academic environment, was used to prepare my slides using LaTeX. But I'm pretty sure it is a very nice feature to have.We at Data In Motion Consulting GmbH are currently working at the preparation of a course, so we came across to the need of making some presentations. But since I'm not familiar with the implement of MathJax in Typora, I'm not sure whether that is possible at all. So I would appreciate if you can take a look at this issue.Īnd I'm thinking about another thing: is it possible for the user of Typora to customize the LaTeX packages they need for a document? I guess many of us have some favorite packages that can't live without (for example, I find the bm package to be very useful for typing bold maths). Both of the above packages are quite necessary in almost every LaTeX document with math. So I suspect it is because the amsbsy package, which should be loaded by the amsmath package automatically, is not loaded properly. I did a little research and found that both command are defined in the amsbsy package. For example, the \boldsymbol command, which is for typing bold Greek letters, does not work anymore. However, I find some bugs that did not exist in older versions. In the new version of Typora, the LaTeX rendering quality seems to be improved.
