how to get rid of huge empty space above heading of each slide

[zeltak]

Hi all

im currently getting huge empty spaces above the heading of each slide, see:

what's (if at all possible) the way to make the header start at the top of the slide itself?

thx so much in advance

Don't use level 1 header which produces the following.

While classical slides use level 2 headers (see https://quarto.org/docs/presentations/revealjs/#creating-slides).

thx so much @mcanouil !

it seems to me that all header levels here produce this empty space

ie

## ENGLISH! {background-color="red"}

test

still has huge space on top

thx again!

Could you provide code instead of screenshots? A full small and reproducible example would be nice.

sure sorry about that @mcanouil

even using the Rstudio built in template I get the same space across all slides

example code

---
title: "Untitled"
format: revealjs
editor: visual
---

## Quarto

Quarto enables you to weave together content and executable code into a finished presentation. To learn more about Quarto presentations see <https://quarto.org/docs/presentations/>.

## Bullets

When you click the **Render** button a document will be generated that includes:

-   Content authored with markdown
-   Output from executable code

## Code

When you click the **Render** button a presentation will be generated that includes both content and the output of embedded code. You can embed code like this:

```{r}
1 + 1

I think you are getting confused by the fact that a reveal.js presentation fit the whole area available in a browser, while the slide keep the aspect ratio.
You can see on the screenshot below that the title is at the top left corner without spaces in the slide (it's from the code you provided).

PS: also use the Q&A category to help others find the questions and answers quicker.
