--self-containted not working with reveal.js themes

[kmindi]

It seems that using the --self-contained option does not work with the theme blood.

pandoc 1.15.0.6
reveal.js 3.1.0
commandline used (not working): pandoc -S --self-contained -s -f markdown -t revealjs -i -V theme:blood -o presentation.html presentation.md

Expected from the theme blood is a black background, instead it appears white.

see also hakimel/reveal.js#1330

It would be really, really nice and helpful (for yourself as well as anybody who tries to help solve your problem), if you could state:

1. The Pandoc version you are using (_meanwhile DONE_, thanks)
2. The RevealJS version you are using (_meanwhile DONE_, thanks)
3. The exact, complete pandoc --to=revealjs... command line you are using (_meanwhile DONE_, thanks)
4. A rough description of what exactly does not work with the theme (what do you expect, and what comes out instead?) _(TO BE DONE)_

BTW, your link to the issue 1330 is not correct (_now CORRECTED_, thanks). The RevealJS creator's username is hakimel, not akimel, so the link should be:

• themes not triggering. hakimel/reveal.js#1330

I can confirm this problem for:

• Pandoc v1.15.0.6 (on OS X 10.10.5 Yosemite)
• RevealJS 3.1.0
• Themes: _beige, league, blood, night_

The other themes (default, white, black, solarized, moon, simple, sky) seem to be fully working. (There may be things which I haven't noticed when taking my quick look.)

What is obvious about the faulty themes: the _slide backgrounds are not correct_. (There may be other glitches which I haven't noticed.)

Do you have a suggested fix? What exactly should be changed
in the default revealjs template?

And a real solution would be to change these path in pandoc src.

Yes, I was asking about the real (best) solution.
Can you tell me what exactly in data/templates/default.revealjs
should be changed?

[jgm]

Your pandoc version is too old. You should upgrade to
the latest. There are binary packages available if you
don't want to install from source.

Sorry, but for my pandoc version (pandoc 1.12.4.2 / reveal 3.1.0) none
of the 11 themes seems to work. I used the same cmd pandoc -S
--self-contained -s -f markdown -t revealjs -i -V theme:blood -o
presentation.html presentation.md

Themes list:
* css/theme/black.css
* css/theme/white.css
* css/theme/league.css
* css/theme/sky.css
* css/theme/beige.css
* css/theme/simple.css
* css/theme/serif.css
* css/theme/blood.css
* css/theme/night.css
* css/theme/moon.css
* css/theme/solarized.css

Sorry for the noise here - I'll remove my useless messages.

I create a PR hakimel/reveal.js#1387 for hakimel/reveal.js#1330 - it fix the blood template background.

[jgm]

I'm unclear whether there's still an issue here with pandoc (as opposed to the themes).
Can someone clarify this?

[kmindi]

The background seems to be fixed if I apply the css code from @ponsfrilus pull request hakimel/reveal.js#1387.
But there is still a difference at least in the font when I use --self-contained:

The css looks the same though.. Maybe there is a rendering bug in firefox/chrome not applying the specified font from the data uri data:text/css:...; or there is a css difference after compressing and base64-encoding.

(using pandoc 1.15.1.1 and reveal.js at hakimel/reveal.js/commit/34b82baa6724a336ede020b33e1bd002529def18 ahead of 3.1.0)

@kmindi I've recently applied a patch that fixes a bug in data uris in CSS. I suspect this might fix the issue you note in your last comment. If you can compile the latest development version from source, can you test?
