Sharing the HTML slides

[torannn]

I have converted the slides to .html format. The result .html file executes normally on my PC but when I send that file to my friends, they can't run it. How can I share it with my friends? Thank you.

Hi @torannn, thanks for asking :-)

Maybe this should be better documented, but here is how you can share an HTML presentation:

1. Let's say you created a presentation that uses BasicExample from example.py

   manim-slides/example.py

   Lines 19 to 32 in 35195f8

   	class BasicExample(Slide):
   	def construct(self):
   	circle = Circle(radius=3, color=BLUE)
   	dot = Dot()
   	self.play(GrowFromCenter(circle))
   	self.pause() # Waits user to press continue to go to the next slide
   	self.start_loop() # Start loop
   	self.play(MoveAlongPath(dot, circle), run_time=2, rate_func=linear)
   	self.end_loop() # This will loop until user inputs a key
   	self.play(dot.animate.move_to(ORIGIN))
   	self.pause() # Waits user to press continue to go to the next slide

   
   You should have first rendered the animation with something like manim example.py BasicExample.
2. Then, when converting to HTML, you chose a destination name, e.g., basic.html: `manim-slides convert BasicExample basic.html.
3. If you open the HTML file, e.g., with --open, you should see the videos. Note that the videos are not contained in basic.html, but rather in the basic_assets/ folder. If you want to share your presentation with others, make sure to also share the basic_assets/ folder. It should also be in the same directory as the one of basic.html.

I hope I answered your question :-)

Hi @jeertmans, now the file is working perfect. Thank you for your support to Window users 😄

Thanks for the update @torannn, it will be soon available with manim-slides==4.9.1.

This is a great tool for math teachers to deliver great calculus lessons. The utilities of the project are now enough to make a presentation for my students 😄 . Keep up the good work.

Many thanks :D If you make your content publicly available somehow (e.g., YouTube video, website page, GitHub repo, etc.), do not hesitate to share here! I'd be happy to see what users do with Manim Slides, and I might create a gallery one day :-)
