Define a class of slides with inverse background in revealjs/Quarto


I would like to have some of the slides inverse. Notably, I would like to have the level 1 slides (these with, by default <h1> level 1 headers) inverse colors: white on black, for example.

This can be achieved as follows:

  1. define a class .inverse, and
  2. specify the background color and the .inverse class in the header of the slide

For example, include this in the style.scss file associated with the presentation:

.inverse h1 {
   color: white;
 }

And use the following to make the slide inversed

# Level 1 header {.inverse background-color="black"}

This works. However, it requires a manual specification of background and class for each slide which I would like to be inversed. Is there a way of setting it up globally, such that the contents of the curly brackets are not necessary and all level 1 slides are inverted automatically?


Solution

  • You can use Pandoc Lua filters to use the inverse class and background-color="black" for all level 1 headers automatically.

    MWE

    ---
    title: "Level 1 header"
    format: revealjs
    keep-md: true
    filters: [bg_style.lua]
    ---
    
    ```{css, include=FALSE}
    .inverse h1 {
       color: white;
     }
    ```
    
    
    ## Quarto
    
    Quarto enables you to weave together content and executable code into a finished presentation. To learn more about Quarto presentations see <https://quarto.org/docs/presentations/>.
    
    # Level 1 header
    
    ## Bullets
    
    When you click the **Render** button a document will be generated that includes:
    
    -   Content authored with markdown
    -   Output from executable code
    
    # Level 1 header
    
    ## Code
    
    When you click the **Render** button a presentation will be generated that includes both content and the output of embedded code. You can embed code like this:
    
    ```{r}
    1 + 1
    ```
    

    bg_style.lua

    function Header(el)
        if el.level == 1 then
          table.insert(el.classes, "inverse")
          el.attributes["data-background-color"] = 'black'
          return el
        end
    end
