Steve's Beamer Template

Note that xelatex is not required for this template but is heavily suggested. If you elect to use xelatex, you must supply something in ⁠titlefont:⁠ and ⁠mainfont:⁠ that your particular LaTeX installation will recognize. See discussion here: https://github.com/svmiller/stevetemplates/issues/4
