This PR converts the technical documentation in pages/scan_steps.md into professional PDF slide presentations using Pandoc with the Beamer LaTeX class.

Generated Files

Three PDF slide versions are now available:

  1. scan_steps_slides.pdf (138K) - Direct conversion from the original markdown with basic slide formatting
  2. scan_steps_clean_slides.pdf (147K) - Improved version with better slide breaks and formatting optimizations
  3. scan_steps_enhanced_slides.pdf (182K) - Enhanced presentation with professional Madrid theme and restructured content organization

Additional Files

  • scan_steps_slides.md - Enhanced markdown source file with better slide structure, proper headings, and presentation-optimized content
  • SLIDES_README.md - Documentation explaining the generated files and regeneration instructions
  • .gitignore - Excludes LaTeX build artifacts and temporary files

Content Coverage

The slides provide a comprehensive technical overview of the Site Scanning process including:

  • Initial data population and URL ingestion
  • Scan architecture and asynchronous execution model
  • Detailed breakdown of all scan types (primary, DNS, accessibility, performance, etc.)
  • Primary scan components: URL analysis, CMS detection, cookie analysis, DAP detection, login detection, mobile optimization, required links, search functionality, SEO analysis, third-party services, and USWDS detection
  • DNS IPv6 testing and hostname analysis
  • 404 error testing methodology
  • Robots.txt and sitemap.xml analysis processes
  • Scan status tracking and error handling

The enhanced slides are suitable for technical presentations, training sessions, and stakeholder briefings about the Site Scanning program's technical implementation.

Technical Implementation

Uses Pandoc with Beamer to generate professional presentation slides that can be easily regenerated when the source documentation is updated. The conversion process maintains all technical details while organizing content into logical slide sequences.

Fixes #24.
