Fullframegraphics: easily make full frame graphics for Beamer slideshows

[pagiraud]

Description

Last weekend, I wrote a filter that makes it easy to produce full frame graphics for Beamer slideshows.

Usage is very simple :

## Title of the full frame slide {.fullframegraphic}

will be rendered:

For years, I’ve relied on pure LaTeX Beamer to produce my slideshows. It has always been a perfect fit for me but for one aspect: it is not straightforward to make full frame graphics. A few years ago, I found a little piece of code by Ojdo that really did exactly what I wanted.

But now I write in .md and converts the document to Beamer. Of course, you can directly insert LaTeX code in a markdown document, but I wanted to use pure markdown syntax with a Lua filter to:

• automatically determine whether the image should be adjusted vertically or horizontally
• see an image preview in Wysiwym editors such as RStudio or Zettlr.
• configure the caption style easily.

I know I will use this filter all the time, but I’m not sure if there are still a lot of Beamer output users nowadays. I hope this filter can be useful for others than me.

All kinds of feedbacks are of course welcome!
