Slides for Amrita University

Create simple static slides with Typst for Amrita University presentations.

This package allows the creation of slides using standard Typst headings. It is designed to be lightweight and easy to use.

Multiple Title Slide themes!

Dense & Non-Dense Modes!

Note: This package is slightly inspired by, and based on Slydst.

temporary Installation

If you prefer not to install the package or need to use the template in the online Typst editor, simply download the single amrita-ppt.typ file from the repository and place it next to your main .typ file. Then import it directly using:

#import "amrita-ppt.typ": *

Usage

Notes on common options

• title-theme: choose between "default" (large title with top/bottom bars) and "minimal" (compact title layout).
• dense-mode: when true, header and footer show tighter spacing and can display the page/event compactly.
• authors: accepts a single string, an array of strings, or an array of maps with keys like name, email, and affiliation. Examples:

// simple
authors: ("Ada Lovelace",)

// detailed
authors: ((name: "Ada Lovelace", email: "ada@example.com", affiliation: "Dept A"),
          (name: "Alan Turing", email: "alan@example.com", affiliation: "Dept B"),)

• affiliations: an array of affiliation strings. If authors include affiliation values, they are matched to these entries and rendered as superscripts.
• team-logo (optional): pass an image block or image("path", width: ...) to show a team/institution logo on title slides.

You can use framed environments for highlighted content:

#definition(title: "Term")[
  A short definition.
]

#theorem(title: "Important")[
  Statement of the theorem.
]
