Recently I’ve been making slides using Pandoc with Beamer. However, I came across the issue where I needed to collaborate with someone using already existing slides written in Markdown.
Sadly, I don’t think this person (and most people for that matter) wants to edit slides in Markdown and use Pandoc. So I needed to convert this into another source material. My original plan was to convert this into a Powerpoint and put it into Google Slides. When I went to convert it using Pandoc, it stripped my math typing and theme. Unfortunately, that wasn’t going to work for me.
The solution I ultimately ended using was the following.
- Convert the Markdown into Latex
- Upload the latex document into Overleaf
- Use the share feature in Overleaf
