Reveal auto-agenda

Using the reveal-auto-agenda quarto extension to automatically create rolling agenda slides

Andrie de Vries

Motivation

Agenda:

To help people follow the logical flow of a presentation, it is useful to show all top level headings in a single agenda slide.

But it can be tedious to construct an agenda slide by hand, by copying all the top level headings.

This extension automatically constructs an agenda slide from the top level headings.

Agenda:

Add this to the yaml header:

filters: 
  - reveal-auto-agenda

Then sit back and watch your agenda slide build itself.

The extension inserts the rolling agenda on every slide with H1 heading.

No.

Other than the header, leave these slides blank - the agenda will form the content of the slide.

You can customize the bullet type (none, bullets or numbered) and optionally add a heading.

filters:
  - reveal-auto-agenda
auto-agenda:
  bullets: numbered
  heading: Agenda
  clickable: true

You can change these options:

bullets:
- Change the agenda slides to have:
  - none: No bullets or numbers
  - bullets: Bullet list (the default)
  - numbered: Numbered list
heading:
- If you set this option, then each agenda slide will have a heading above the agenda list.
- Use this to set a heading to “Agenda”, “Table of Contents”, or similar.
clickable:
- Set to true to make the list items clickable (default = false).

If you want to suppress the agenda on a particular slide, add the class no-auto-agenda to the slide:

# Header {.no-auto-agenda}

Agenda:

Have fun!
