Beamer → Quarto Translation Workflow

Full translation of a Beamer LaTeX lecture to Quarto RevealJS HTML slides.

CRITICAL: The Beamer .tex file is the SINGLE SOURCE OF TRUTH.

Phase 0: Pre-Flight Checks

0A. Environment Parity Audit

Scan Beamer for all custom environments. Verify CSS equivalents exist in your theme SCSS. If any are missing, create them FIRST.

0B. TikZ Freshness Verification

Run /extract-tikz to verify SVGs match current Beamer source.

0C. RDS Data Inventory

List all RDS files needed for interactive charts.

0D. Citation Key Mapping

Extract all citations from Beamer, map to bibliography keys.

Phase 1: Pre-Translation Preparation

Read complete Beamer source, count frames
Inventory figures (TikZ → SVG, R plots → plotly, other → SVG)

Phase 2: Create QMD File with YAML Header

Standard RevealJS YAML with theme, logo, footer, bibliography
Setup chunk for R data loading if needed

Phase 3: Slide-by-Slide Translation

Delegate to beamer-translator agent
1:1 frame-to-slide mapping
Verbatim math, environment parity, no font reduction

Phase 4: TikZ Diagram Integration

Reference extracted SVGs with 0-based indexing.

Phase 5: R Figure Integration (Plotly-First)

Interactive plotly from RDS data, static SVG for TikZ/complex figures.
