Neurodata Marp Poster Template

Setting up Marp

Instructions for using this Marp template in VSCode:

• Download Marp extension for VSCode.
• In VSCode Preferences->Settings, search Marp. Enable Marp: Enable HTML.
• Add our CSS theme to the list of markdown themes. This can be done by going into .vscode/settings.json and adding the css file to the list of Marp themes:

{
    ...
    "markdown.marp.themes": [
        "<local-relative-path>/poster.css"
    ]
    ...
}

where <local-relative-path> is the path relative to the folder that you have open in VSCode. Alternatively, you can add the path to Preferences -> Settings in the field called Markdown › Marp: Themes For example, if you cloned this repo into a folder in VSCode, it would look like

{
   "markdown.marp.themes": [
       "./marp-poster-template/themes/poster.css"
   ],
}

Creating the markdown to generate your poster

• Add the following header to your poster file (.md):

---
marp: true
theme: poster
paginate: false
size: 36:24
---

• You can automatically render your poster file using the preview preview pane with the Markdown: Open preview command.
• Note that you can change the size: option (this denotes width:height). Available sizes are listed at the top of ./theme/poster.css; you can also create your own size.

Exporting the poster

• The poster can be exported as pdf, jpg, png, and other formats supported by Marp.
• To export, click the Marp icon in the top right corner of the editor and choose Export slide deck.
