技术背景

在前面的几篇文章中，我们介绍过在RMarkdown中编写Latex Beamer风格的演讲文档，还有使用pandoc直接编译Markdown文档为Beamer的方法。pandoc是这些不同方案背后的核心编译工具，核心用法还是把markdown转译成Beamer风格的tex文件，然后再用latex编译器将其编译为pdf格式的文档。目前除了RMarkdown之外，还有一些VSCode插件的方法可以用。但是本文我要推荐的是另外一个Markdown撰写工具：Zettlr。非常简洁的一个开源软件，有所见即所得模式和源码模式，而且配置好之后，还可以直接输出Latex Beamer风格的文档。

Zettlr下载

重要的事情说三遍：不要从官网下载！不要从官网下载！不要从官网下载！这个软件近期都还在开源仓库上有更新，可以直接从Github的release中下载一个最新版本的tag，例如当前的最新版本是4.6.0：

我这里使用的是Windows的平台，下载完exe文件之后，直接双击就可以开始安装和使用了。

TinyTex下载安装

前面有提到，要生成Latex Beamer风格的演示文档，需要用到pandoc来进行转译，而pandoc转为tex之后，又需要通过xelatex来进行编译构建，所以我们还是需要一个latex的编译器。而TinyTex是一个不错的选择，它的大包中就包含了xelatex，所以我们可以直接从tinytex-releases这个开源的release项目中下载最新版本的TinyTex安装包。需要注意的是，这里每一个平台都提供了三个安装包选项，我们选择体积最大的那个即可。

下载解压缩运行之后，要把这个bin/windows的路径添加到系统路径中。如果配置正确，在Power Shell中应该可以运行得到：

bash 复制代码

Ctex中文支持

像latex这样的产品，对于中文的直接支持还是差一点，有可能编译出来会是一个方框。如果需要中文支持的话，可以按照如下方式装一个ctex：

bash 复制代码

Zettlr Beamer格式配置

重启Zettlr，配置一个Beamer输出格式：

内容为：

yaml 复制代码

reader: markdown
writer: beamer

pdf-engine: xelatex
variables:
  documentclass: beamer
  classoption: aspectratio=169

就可以编译出Beamer格式的pdf了

这个演示文档所对应的Markdown原文内容为：

This is an Markdown presentation. Markdown is a simple formatting syntax for authoring HTML, PDF, and MS Word documents. For more details on using R Markdown see <http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com>. 

When you click the **Knit** button a document will be generated that includes both content as well as the output of any embedded R code chunks within the document.

总结概要

Latex Beamer是我个人非常喜欢的一个演示文稿风格，该文稿类型，不仅对于公式、代码块有很好的展示效果，同时在演示文稿的架构上有非常清晰的层次感，甚至可以直接支持mermaid这样的流程图，内容专业而丰富。所以我也一直有在探索有什么工具可以更好的结合Markdown的简明语法和Latex Beamer的专业演示，从这点上来说，我觉得Zettlr是一个不错的开始。
