Beamer language

[raffaem]

Explain the problem.

Consider the following markdown file, which includes a lang: it metadata entry:

---
title: "My Title"
author: "This Author"
theme: Madrid
date: \today
toc: true
lang: it
---

# Section 1

## Slide 1

Lorem ipsum

## Slide 2

Doler sit amen

Compile it with:

pandoc --from markdown --to beamer --standalone main.md --output main.pdf

Section heading stays in English:

To obtain section heading in the correct language, we need to pass the language as beamer option.

pandoc --from markdown --to beamer --standalone main.md --output main.tex

Replace the document class with:

\documentclass[
  ignorenonframetext,
  italian
]{beamer}

Now we have the section heading in the correct language

I'll fix this. In the mean time you should be able to work around it with

classoptions:
- italian

in your metadata.

Just to say that the proposed workaround based on the classoptions metadata tag doesn't work and nothing is put in the class options in the corresponding latex file

ok it's classoption singular, not plural
