Example yaml header with options depending on the output format

Example yaml header with options depending on the output format

[Dominique]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 989 bytes --]

I wrote a presentation in Markdown and converted it to HTML with pandoc 
using the revealjs format. I set several options in the yaml header, 
including the theme.

Now I would like to export the same presentation to PDF using the beamer 
output format. However, pandoc complains that the theme I selected for 
Reveal.js isn't recognized for Beamer. Conversely, I would like to set 
options for Beamer (e.g., aspectratio) that aren't recognized for Reveal.js.

Could someone show an example of a yaml header block that specifies options 
for two or more output formats?

Thanks.

Personally I'd suggest using a defaults file for the theme
and other presentational details, reserving the YAML metadata
for actual metadata.

You could have one defaults file for revealjs and another for
beamer; in addition to different themes, these could specify
the output format.

Thanks, that seems reasonable. There's more to learn about Pandoc every day!

I tried writing a defaults file but Pandoc complains that certain options 
in there are not recognized. In particular, "height" and "revealjs-url" 
appear invalid. They were recognized in the yaml header block (in the main 
md source file).

Same problem with Beamer: option "aspectratio" is not recognized.

Any suggestions?

Put those under 'variables':

variables:
  height: whatever
