[Deprecated] org-mode Simple Chinese Template for Beamer
org-beamer-cn
This is a template for creating presentation slides that include Chinese text. Instead of building slides in PowerPoint or Google Slides, you write your content in a plain-text file using org-mode (a format built into the Emacs text editor), and the template automatically converts it into professional-looking slides.
The workflow is straightforward. You write your slide content in a simple text file, run a command in Emacs to convert it into LaTeX code (a document formatting language), then use another tool to turn that into a PDF of your presentation. The template handles all the formatting details—colors, fonts, layouts—so you only have to focus on what you want to say.
This project was specifically built for Chinese speakers. It uses Chinese fonts from Adobe and special settings to make sure Chinese characters display correctly in your slides. It also includes a feature for displaying code snippets with syntax highlighting, which is useful if you're presenting technical content. The slides have a clean, minimal design using the Darmstadt theme with a warm red color scheme.
You'd use this if you're comfortable writing in plain text and prefer having full control over your slides through code rather than clicking around in a GUI. It's especially handy if you're already using Emacs for other work, or if you're presenting technical content that includes code examples. However, note that the README marks this project as deprecated, so it may not be actively maintained or work with very recent versions of tools.
