Slide Show (S9) Quick Starter Kit

Write your own talks in plain text with Markdown formatting conventions.

What's included?

• A first sample talk (see sample1.text)
• A second sample talk (see sample2.text) incl. some macros/helpers e.g. left, right, step, etc.

Step 0: Setup Templates Packs & Plugins

Use the Slide Show (S9) command line tool to download (fetch) the template pack and plugin helpers:

$ slideshow install s6blank        # fetch s6 blank template pack
$ slideshow install plugins        # fetch (standard) plugin helpers

To double check what template packs and plugins you have installed try:

$ slideshow list

resulting in:

Installed plugins in search path
    [1] plugins/*.{txt.plugin,plugin.txt}
    [2] plugins/*/*.{txt.plugin,plugin.txt}
    [3] ~/.slideshow/plugins/*.{txt.plugin,plugin.txt}
    [4] ~/.slideshow/plugins/*/*.{txt.plugin,plugin.txt}
  include:
       analytics (~/.slideshow/plugins/analytics/analytics.txt.plugin)
        snippets (~/.slideshow/plugins/snippets/snippets.txt.plugin)
          tables (~/.slideshow/plugins/tables/tables.txt.plugin)

Installed template packs in search path
    [1] templates/*.txt
    [2] templates/*/*.txt
    [3] node_modules/*/*.txt
    [4] ~/.slideshow/templates/*.txt
    [5] ~/.slideshow/templates/*/*.txt
  include:
         s6blank (~/.slideshow/templates/s6blank/s6blank.txt)

Build Instructions

Use the Slide Show (S9) command line tool to build a web page (e.g. sample1.html or sample2.html) that is an all-in-one-page handout and a live slide show all at once.

$ slideshow build sample1.text

=> Preparing slideshow 'sample1.html'...
=> Done.

And one more time.

$ slideshow build sample2.text

=> Preparing slideshow 'sample2.html'...
=> Done.

That's it. Open up your slide show sample1.html or sample2.html in your browser (Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari, Edge and others) and hit F11 to switch into full screen projection and hit the space bar or the right arrow, down arrow or page down key to flip through your slides.
