A Typst template for Polytechnique student oral presentations.

[!warning] The original Polytechnique template uses the Georgia font. This is a copyrighted font, so it could not be included directly within the template. For better results, you are encouraged to download it and add it to the project (simply upload the font files on the web app). In case of issue, see font management in Typst.

• frame-theme: “light” or “dark” (default: “light”)
• h1-theme: “light”, “ligh-dark”, “dark-light” or “dark” (default: “dark-light”)

Features

Cover page

You can generate a cover page using the #template.cover command. It takes the following arguments:

• title
• speaker
• date
• background-image: this should be an image object, with width: 100%, height: 100% like image("path/to/custom/image.png", width: 100%, height: 100%) (default: a photo of the lake and Grand Boncourt).

Example:

#cover(title: "Soutenance de stage", speaker: "Big BRother", date: "22/08/2025")

Outline

You can generate a fancy table of contents using the classic #outline command:

#outline(title: "Sommaire")

This will generate one of the outline pages below, according to the number of sections you have. Note that if you have less than two sections, or strictly more than six sections, the outline will default on a classic table of contents.

Two sections	Three sections	Four sections	Five sections	Six sections

Logo in background

If you want to display the “armes” of Polytechnique in the background of a slide, use #show: template.armes right after the slide title.
