A simple polylux slides template for the ParCIO working group at Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg.

Getting Started

To use this template, simply import it as shown below and define a title-slide with the following possible options:

#import "@preview/parcio-slides:0.2.0": *

#show: parcio-theme.with(
  aspect-ratio: "16-9", // "16-9" and "4-3" are the only possible options.
  text-size: 20pt, // We recommend around this text size, as it fits nicely.
  style-raw-blocks: true, // Enable or disable the built-in code block style.
)

#title-slide(
  title: [],
  author: (name: "Your Name", mail: "example@ovgu.de"),
  subtitle: none,
  short-title: none,
  logo: none,
  date: datetime.today().display(),
  extra: none
)

These are the default options. We recommend leaving the show-rule as-is, such that you can just do #show parcio-theme, and using the provided OvGU logo for your title slide (if you initialized with typst init) by specifying logo: image("OVGU-INF.pdf", width: 9.8cm) on your title slide.

Multiple authors can be displayed by providing an array of dictionaries instead, like so:

...
author: (
  (name: "Author One", mail: "author.one@ovgu.de"), 
  (name: "Author Two", mail: "author.two@ovgu.de")
),
...

The short-title is useful for specifying a shorter title which is displayed in the footer of each slide. Additionally, extra can be used for specifying your lecture, institute or faculty. See template/main.typ for a full example!

Slides

Creating slides is done via the #slide()-function with the following default arguments:

#slide(
  title: none, // title of your current slide
  new-section: none, // marks a new topic, add it to the outline and is displayed in the top-right 
  show-current-section: true, // whether to display the current section in the top-right
  show-footer: true, // whether to display the footer (disabled for `bib-slide` and `outline-slide`)
  skip: false, // whether to skip the page counter for this slide
  body,
)

Most often, you will use #slide like this: #slide(title: "Introduction")[...]—setting a title is important for the header bar to properly work!

Outline and Bibliography Slides

• You can use #outline-slide(title: "Outline") to create a slide which lists all of your sections you registered with new-section!
• You can use #bib-slide(title: "References", bib) to create a slide containing your bibliography. This slide will have slightly smaller text, justified paragraphs and expects the actual bibliography(..) function call as a second argument.

Using polylux functions

In order to use polylux functions for dynamic slide management, such as show: later or uncover, importing those functions separately is necessary. Additionally, this template uses a different page counter than that of polylux, so to achieve the correct dynamic slide numbering, manual fiddling is required (the counter is accessible through #counter("m-page")).

Local Installation

In order to make the template available locally under the @local namespace, clone this repository and refer to Local Packages or use the Unofficial Typst Package Manager. You can also use the provided justfile to move this template to the correct location as well as generate up-to-date thumbnails for publishing.

Fonts and OvGU Corporate Design

This template requires these two fonts to be installed on your system:

• Libertinus Sans (https://github.com/alerque/libertinus)
• Inconsolata (https://github.com/googlefonts/Inconsolata)

We bundle the default “Faculty of Computer Science” head banner and use it as the logo. You can find yours at: https://www.cd.ovgu.de/Fakultäten.html.
