This is a package for creating presentation slides in Typst. Read the book to learn all about it and click here to see what's new!
If you like it, consider giving a star on GitHub!
For the bare-bones, do-it-yourself experience, all you need is:
// Get Polylux from the official package repository
#import "@preview/polylux:0.4.0": *
// Make the paper dimensions fit for a presentation and the text larger
#set page(paper: "presentation-16-9")
#set text(size: 25pt, font: "Lato")
// Use #slide to create a slide and style it using your favourite Typst functions
#slide[
#set align(horizon)
= Very minimalist slides

// Make use of features like #uncover, #only, and others to create dynamic content
#uncover(2)[But this appears later!]
]This code produces these PDF pages:
From there, you can either start creatively adapting the looks to your likings or you directly start by using a template. The simplest one of them is called "basic". It is still very unintrusive but gives you some sensible defaults.
For dynamic content, Polylux also provides a convenient API for complex overlays.
If you use pdfpc to display your slides, you can rely on Polylux' support for it and create speaker notes, hide slides, configure the timer and more!
Visit the book for more details or take a look at the demo PDF where you can see the features of this template in action.

Various people have contributed to this package and I will certainly forget someone here, but amongst others I would like to thank @rmburg, @drupol, @Enivex, @MarkBlyth, @ntjess, @JuliusFreudenberger, and @fncnt (who came up with the name Polylux).
