LaTex Preamble Setting

Preamble Content

TexSlide provides a default preamble with the following content:

\def\pgfsysdriver{pgfsys-dvisvgm.def}
 
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{ifxetex}
 
\ifxetex
    \usepackage{xeCJK}
\fi

You can customize the global preamble according to your needs. Here is a structured example:

% ========================
% 1. Driver Setup (Highest Priority)
% ========================
\def\pgfsysdriver{pgfsys-dvisvgm.def}
 
% ========================
% 2. Base Toolkit
% ========================
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{ifxetex}
 
% ========================
% 3. Document Content Packages
% ========================
\usepackage{algorithm}
\usepackage{algpseudocode}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{caption}
 
% ========================
% 4. Domain-Specific Packages
% ========================
\usepackage{chemfig}
\usepackage{mhchem}
 
% ========================
% 5. Graphics & Visualization Packages (Post-Driver)
% ========================
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\usepackage{tikz}
\pgfplotsset{compat=1.18}
\usepgfplotslibrary{fillbetween}
 
% ========================
% 6. Custom Macros
% ========================
\definecolor{myBlue}{RGB}{18,125,230}
\newcommand{\mbf}{\mathbf}
 
% ========================
% 7. Conditional Loading (Lowest Priority)

\ifxetex
    \usepackage{xeCJK}
\fi

\def\pgfsysdriver{pgfsys-dvisvgm.def} must be placed at the very beginning of the preamble to ensure proper SVG rendering.
