Presentation in markdown using LaTeX Beamer.
See markdown-paper for template for a scientific paper.
NOTE: pandoc version > 1.16 is recommended because image-attributes are not available before that version.
The Makefile details how the translation works. If you are on linux, simply calling make in the parent directory will compile the report to a pdf-format if all dependencies are installed. Edit the variables in the Makefile to choose a theme (check this webpage for a gallery).

Install the dependencies
sudo apt-get install pandoc pandoc-citeproc pip install pandoc-fignos -
check that pandoc has version>=1.16 (otherwise install from other source)
pandoc -v -

Write talk in
talk.md, refs inbibliography.bib, compile withmake
There are some tips in the talk.md file to get you started.
NOTE: guard.sh is a little tool that calls make whenever something changes in the directory (I find it useful for updating the PDF automatically whenever I hit safe)
I use the atom editor using the markdown-preview-enhanced-package. That way, I get an immediate visual update of the markdown I am writing (though it is not the final design, of course).
