Beamer should output to pdf #80

Closed newhallroad closed 6 years ago

newhallroad commented 6 years ago

Converting from md to beamer outputs a .tex file. Performing the same conversion on the cli outputs a .pdf which seems more intuitive as I would expect a pdf slides as the output. Is there a setting I am missing that would give me pdf slides? Many thanks

As it turns out, this is an omission in pandoc-mode. In order to create a pdf with pandoc-mode, you need to call C-c / p instead of C-c / r. Since creating a pdf can only be done with a few output formats, pandoc-mode makes sure you're using one of these. However, I neglected to make sure that beamer is on the list of possible output formats.

This should be fixed now in the latest commit.

Thanks for reporting this!

That makes total sense. Thanks, as always, for being so responsive.
