Set the underline style from the front panel of Pandoc YAML

Question

Is it possible to set the Pandoc backlight option on the front of the YAML? It can be set using the pandoc command as a flag.

--highlight-style=kate 

But I don’t see a mention of the backlight style digging through the Pandoc LaTeX template. Is it possible?

Answer 1

This seems to be an open feature request: https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/2925

Answer 2

If you are using Rmarkdown :

 --- output: beamer_presentation: highlight: zenburn pdf_document: highlight: zenburn --- 

FYI: I am using rmarkdown master , but 1.9 should be sufficient and pandoc master ( 2.1.3 )
