Added monash theme

[robjhyndman]

First pass.

• I've tried to make it as similar as possible in structure to other binb themes.
• I've made carlito the default font for now.
• I've not included a demo at this stage.

Please feel free to modify what I've done as you see fit.

Giving it a spin .... and looks like we're missing resources:

/usr/lib/rstudio/bin/pandoc/pandoc +RTS -K512m -RTS Monash.utf8.md --to beamer --from markdown+autolink_bare_uris+ascii_identifiers+tex_math_single_backslash --output Monash.tex --template /usr/local/lib/R/site-library/binb/rmarkdown/templates/monash/resources/template.tex --slide-level 2 --variable theme=monash --highlight-style tango --pdf-engine pdflatex --self-contained 
output file: Monash.knit.md

tlmgr search --file --global '/MonashTitleSlide'
Cannot determine type of tlpdb from /home/edd/texmf!

! LaTeX Error: File `MonashTitleSlide' not found.

I see your R code already accounts for a file in

    for (f in c("beamercolorthememonash.sty", "beamerfontthememonash.sty",
                "beamerthememonash.sty", "titlepage.png", "figs/"))

but I guess you i) need to add it and b) sort out the naming: MonashTitleSlide.png vs titleslide.png.

Once I copy it in (as MonashTitleSlide.png) all is well.

[eddelbuettel]

One trick might be to take titleslide from YAML, also copy the default slide and if/else the code so an alternate is used as given (under name titleslide.png) and otherwise yours is used.

For now just change the code to copy in the hardcode MonashTitleSlide.png may do too.

[robjhyndman]

Sorry. Now fixed I hope.

All good -- tried again, once home.

I wonder if we should invert the colors as you did in your 'Writing.pdf' -- ie header with blue background, body with light/white background? Thoughts?

[robjhyndman]

I have two versions of the monash theme, one with blue body and white headers, and one with white body and blue headers. I could add a yaml option to switch between them.
