reveal.js options: support for width, height

[jmarca]

I searched the issues and didn't find anything related even in closed issues. Apologies in advance if I missed something.

pandoc 1.17.0.3

It appears the reveal.js options relating to presentation size (https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js#presentation-size) are ignored by pandoc.

with the command line:

james@emma tmp$ pandoc -t revealjs -s habits.md -o habits.html --standalone -V transition=fade                 

I get

  <script>

      // Full list of configuration options available here:
      // https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js#configuration
      Reveal.initialize({
        controls: true,
        progress: true,
        history: true,
        center: true,
        theme: Reveal.getQueryHash().theme, // available themes are in /css/theme
        transition: 'fade', // default/cube/page/concave/zoom/linear/fade/none
...

with the command line:

james@emma tmp$ pandoc -t revealjs -s habits.md -o habits_width_option.html --standalone -V transition=fade -V width=1269

I get:

  <script>

      // Full list of configuration options available here:
      // https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js#configuration
      Reveal.initialize({
        controls: true,
        progress: true,
        history: true,
        center: true,
        theme: Reveal.getQueryHash().theme, // available themes are in /css/theme
        transition: 'fade', // default/cube/page/concave/zoom/linear/fade/none

...

I can hack a width and height setting with the following options abuse that reminds me of a SQL injection attack:

james@emma tmp$ pandoc -t revealjs -s habits.md -o habits_width_hacked.html --standalone -V transition="fade','width':'1269" 

Which gives:

  <script>

      // Full list of configuration options available here:
      // https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js#configuration
      Reveal.initialize({
        controls: true,
        progress: true,
        history: true,
        center: true,
        theme: Reveal.getQueryHash().theme, // available themes are in /css/theme
        transition: 'fade','width':'1269', // default/cube/page/concave/zoom/linear/fade/none

...

which does the right thing (set the presentation width)

I fixed this awhile back; it looks as if you're using an old copy of the template.

Well. That's embarrassing! I had forgotten that ~/.pandoc/templates was a symlink to my local copy of pandoc-templates repo, last updated in 2014.

Sorry about the noise.
