<p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.njtierney.com/">Nick Tierney</a> asked on <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/nj_tierney/status/748413486724751360">Twitter about rmarkdown and metropolis</a> about whether folks had used <a target="_blank" href="http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/">RMarkdown</a>-driven LaTeX <a target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beamer_(LaTeX)">Beamer</a> presentations. And the answer is a firm <strong>hell yeah</strong>. I have been using <a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/matze/mtheme">mtheme</a> (and/or a local variant I called ‘m2’) as well as the newer (renamed) release <a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/matze/mtheme">mtheme</a> for the last year or two for all my <a target="_blank" href="http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/">RMarkdown</a>-based presentations as you can see <a target="_blank" href="http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/presentations.html">from my presentations page</a>.</p>
<p>And earlier this year back I cleaned this up and wrote myself <em>local</em> Ubuntu packages which are <a target="_blank" href="https://launchpad.net/~edd/+archive/ubuntu/misc/+packages">here on Launchpad</a>. I also have two <a target="_blank" href="https://www.github.com/">GitHub</a> repos for the underlying .deb package code: – the <a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/eddelbuettel/pkg-latex-metropolis">pkg-latex-metropolis</a> package for the LaTeX part (which is also in TeXlive in an older version) – the <a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/eddelbuettel/pkg-fonts-fira">pkg-fonts-fira</a> for the underlying (free) font (and this sadly cannot build on launchpad as it needs a download step).</p>
<p>To round things up, I now also created a <a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/eddelbuettel/samples-rmarkdown-metropolis">public ‘sample’ repo on GitHub</a>. It is complete for all but the custom per-presenteation <code>header.tex</code> that modifies colours, add local definitions etc as needed for each presentation.</p>
<p>With that, Happy Canada Day (tomorrow, though) — never felt better to be part of something <a target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_Canada">Glorious and Free</a>, and also free of Brexit, Drumpf and other nonsense.</p>
