Notes in converting PPTX powerpoint presentations to quarto markdown reveal

zipinfo
lists everything
-
ssine/pptx2md: a pptx to markdown converter does this automatically!
--qmd
- Had to install deps manually
In LibreOffice could delete the footer and header in the master slide, giving me clean slides.- LibreOffice could delete header only, but not the footer — had to use MS Office for this

LaTeX
Colorful equations
How do I write LaTeX with colors in quarto presentations? · quarto-dev/quarto-cli · Discussion #4429
$$\begin{aligned}
\color{green}{\bf{Net Benefit}} = \frac{\color{green}{\bf{TP}}}{\text{N}} - \frac{\color{red}{\bf{FP}}}{\text{N}} * {\frac{{p_{t}}}{{1 - p_{t}}}}
\end{aligned}$$
$$\color{red}{w_0} + x_1*w_1 + x_2*w_2 + x_1*w_1$$
It uses the usual names: LaTeX Color Definitions
Actually2 these: MathJax-src/ts/input/tex/color/ColorConstants.ts at master · mathjax/MathJax-src
HA, it can even do usual RGB hex colors!
The useful to me are Cardinal/Carmine and Cerulean/Blue?..

<style>
.flushright {
text-align: right;

But actually,
::: {style="text-align: right;"}
$\small{E(W) = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} \mathcal{L} \left( \color{blue}{f(x^{(i)}; W)}, \color{red}{y_{true}^{(i)}} \right)}$

Height and aspect ratios
Preview in a long/high browser window to see what the actual width of the presentation is. PDF export also uses the actual width
