This repository contains a Beamer presentation template I use for my
own presentations. Others in the CDSC lab also use it for lab
presentations. It is released under the GNU GPL version 3 or later.

The latest version can be found on GitLab at:
https://gitlab.com/makoshark/beamer-mako

You can clone the repository with:

  git clone https://gitlab.com/makoshark/beamer-mako.git

================================
=== Dependencies ===============
================================

On Debian or Ubuntu, install the following packages:

  * latexmk
  * texlive-xetex
  * texlive-latex-recommended
  * texlive-latex-extra

  apt install latexmk texlive-xetex texlive-latex-recommended \
  texlive-latex-extra

On other systems, installing a full TeX Live distribution should provide
everything needed.

The template uses the Metropolis Beamer theme, bundled in the template/
directory along with the OpenSans and RobotoMono fonts it requires.

================================
=== Scripts ====================
================================

new_beamer_presentation
-----------------------
Creates a new presentation directory from the template. Takes a
destination directory as its argument:

  new_beamer_presentation <directory>

Example:

  new_beamer_presentation my-talk

This creates my-talk/ populated with the template files, with the main
source file renamed to my-talk.tex. Fonts are symlinked from the source
repository rather than copied, so the repository must remain in place.
