Slydst

Create simple static slides with Typst.

Slydst allows the creation of slides using Typst headings. This simplicity comes at the expense of dynamic content such as subslide animations. For more complete and complex slides functionalities, see other tools such as Polylux.

See the preview below.

Quick start

Just use the following command.

typst init @preview/slydst directory

Or select the Slydst template in the Typst app.

Usage

To start, just use the following preamble (only the title is required).

#import "@preview/slydst:0.1.5": *

#show: slides.with(
  title: "Slydst: Slides with Typst",
  subtitle: none,
  date: none,
  authors: ("Gaspard Lambrechts",),
  layout: "medium",
  ratio: 4/3,
  title-color: none,
  subslide-numbering: none,
)

Insert your content here.

Then, insert your content.

• Level-one headings corresponds to new sections.
• Level-two headings corresponds to new slides.
• Blank space can be filled with vertical spaces like #v(1fr).

== Outline

#outline()

= First section

== First slide

#figure(image("figure.png", width: 60%), caption: "Caption")

#v(1fr)

#lorem(20)

Title page

Alternatively, you can omit the title argument and write your own title page. Note that the subtitle, date and authors arguments will be ignored in that case.

#show: slides.with(
  layout: "medium",
)

#align(center + horizon)[
  #text(2em, default-color)[*Slydst: Slides in Typst*]
]

Insert your content here.

We advise the use of the title-slide function that ensures a proper centering and no page numbering.

#show: slides

#title-slide[
  #text(2em, default-color)[*Slydst: Slides in Typst*]
]

Insert your content here.

Components

Definitions, theorems, lemmas, corollaries and algorithms boxes are also available.

#definition(title: "An interesting definition")[
  #lorem(20)
]
