Outlines
Table of contents
In Slydekit, you can create an outline using the tableofcontents command.
#import "@preview/slydekit:0.1.0": *
#show: slydekit.with(...)
// Title slide
#title-slide
// Insert a table of contents
#tableofcontentsIf you want to create a custom theme, Slydekit provides the toc command to create a simple table of contents with the current theme primary color. Actually, tableofcontents is just a wrapper around toc, that includes the title slide and the table of contents in a single slide.
Table of contents - Simple theme
Table of contents - Metropolis theme
Table of contents - Fancy theme
Table of contents - Cambfurt theme
Table of contents - Chalkboard themeYou can see the source code of the toc command to see implementation details.
Progressive outline
Slydekit provides a progressive-outline command that creates a progressive outline, where each section is revealed one by one. This function is inspired by Touying but is implemented in a different way. Only the simple and cambfurt built-in themes support progressive outlines.
#let progressive-outline(
it,
active-color,
inactive-color,
entry-size: 0.8575em,
gutter: 4%,
section-numbering: "1.1.",
appendix-numbering: "A.1.",
)itThe content of the slide.
active-colorThe color used to fill the active slide indicator.
inactive-colorThe color used to fill the inactive slide indicators.
entry-size – default: 0.8575emThe size of the text used for the outline entries. The default value is 0.8575em, which is a good size for most presentations.
gutter – default: 4%The space between the outline entries. The default value is 4%.
section-numbering – default: “1.1.”The numbering format for sections. The default value is "1.1.".
appendix-numbering – default: “A.1.”The numbering format for appendices. The default value is "A.1.".
A typical implementation of the progressive-outline command when creating a theme is as follows:
#show heading.where(level: 1): it => {
// Formatting the content
...
// Creating the progressive outline
progressive-outline(it, active-color, inactive-color)
}Hide sections
Slydekit provides the hide-new-section-slide function to hide the slide that introduces a new section, while keeping the section in the outline. This is useful when you want to keep the outline clean and concise, but still want to have the section in the outline. To use this function, simply add the following line to your presentation:
#show: hide-new-section-slideprogressive-outline, since hide-new-section-slide hides level 1 heading slides. However, the section will still be present in the tableofcontents.If you want to have a fine-grained control over which sections are hidden, you can use the label hide-toc command to hide specific sections.
