A community-built, non-official structured presentation theme designed to match the branding and style guidelines of the Sorbonne University, built on top of the presentate and navigator packages.


Overview

The theme provides academic and institutional slide decks that respect the visual identity of Sorbonne University while offering powerful dynamic features.

  • Faculty Presets: Built-in colors and logos for Health, Science, Humanities, and University-wide presentations.
  • Smart Navigation: Automatic breadcrumbs, transition slides with roadmaps, and flexible hierarchy mapping.
  • Dynamic Content: Seamless integration of pause, uncover, and only for step-by-step reveals.
  • Scientific Ready: Specialized slides for equations, figures, and algorithms.

🎨 Faculty Presets

Switch visual identities instantly using the faculty parameter:

Univ Sante Sciences Lettres
Univ Sante Sciences Lettres
  • univ: Sorbonne Blue (University-wide)
  • sante: Sorbonne Red (Faculty of Health)
  • sciences: Sorbonne Light Blue (Faculty of Science & Engineering)
  • lettres: Sorbonne Yellow/Ocre (Faculty of Humanities)

Logo Customization

You can easily replace the default institutional logos with your own by using the following parameters in the template function.

logo-transition (Monochrome/White version)

This logo is used on solid theme-colored backgrounds. For best results, use a white or high-contrast monochrome version of your logo. It appears on:

  • The Title Slide (bottom right).
  • All Transition Slides (Parts, Sections, Subsections) in the top left.
  • Focus Slides and the Ending Slide.

logo-slide (Color version)

This logo is used on standard slides (white background). Use your full-color logo here. It appears in the Header of every content slide, next to the title.

Example:

#show: template.with(
  logo-slide: "assets/my-logo-color.png",
  logo-transition: "assets/my-logo-white.png",
)

  • #slide(title: none, subtitle: none, allow-slide-breaks: false, background: none, body): Standard content slide.
    • allow-slide-breaks: If true, allows content to overflow onto multiple slides. A suffix (defined by slide-break-suffix) is automatically appended to the title from the second page. Note: This feature is incompatible with dynamic animations like #pause.
    • background: Optional content (e.g., an image) to display behind the slide content. Slide
  • #slide-break(): Manually forces a page break within a slide. Note: Only works when allow-slide-breaks: true is set on the #slide().
