Arkansas State University presentation templates for Beamer (LaTeX) and revealjs (Quarto), shipped as six installable Quarto extensions — a generic A-State pair plus unit-specific variants for GLP (Government, Law & Policy) and IRI (Institute for Rural Initiatives).

All six share the same typography (Inter body + Fraunces display), A-State
brand colors (red #CC092F, black #000000), author/ORCID/affiliation
metadata handling, and Makefile build workflow. Variants differ only in
which logo image and contact slide content ship with the template.
After scaffolding, each template directory ships with a Makefile:
make # render to _output/
make preview # (revealjs) live-preview server
make clean # sweep aux files
make cleanall # also remove _output/See each subdirectory's README.md for template-specific details.
- Quarto ≥ 1.4
- XeLaTeX for the Beamer variants (fontspec + fontawesome6)
- Fonts: Inter and Fraunces — revealjs pulls from Google Fonts automatically; Beamer falls back gracefully if they aren't installed system-wide.
To share with an A-State colleague, send them one of:
quarto use template cwimpy/astate-pres/astate-beamer # LaTeX slides
quarto use template cwimpy/astate-pres/astate-revealjs # HTML slidesThe generic variants have placeholder author/affiliation info they can edit.
