I want to include a certain piece of CSS in all of my slides (regardless of the theme), but still want to be able to use custom CSS on a per slide basis if I want to.
Currently if I set a default value for theme with a custom css file, it gets overridden as soon as I pick another theme in a slide (which is kind of expected).
I'd like to be able to include a CSS file in addition to the theme.
A good enough workaround for now is using include-in-header, but that can still be overridden.
(More details shared later)
Here is what I have in my _quarto.yml file:
format:
revealjs:
theme: [default, custom.scss]
Then in any slide, if I want to use another theme:
---
format:
revealjs:
theme: sky
---
I want to be able to include my custom.scss in all of my slides without having to remember to include it when I don't use the default value.
What I'm currently doing is I have include-in-header defined in my _quarto.yml to include custom CSS. I don't use include-in-header at the moment anywhere in my slides which is why I can rely on the default.
