How to make presentations with simple plain text markup that look nice.

Technology Used

The slides are generated from asciidoctor markup and displayed with reveal.js. This means the content can be kept under version control and exported to a number of formats other than HTML.

How to Build

To install the needed dependencies on OSX run:

install-deps.sh

Then run:

mvn clean compile

How to View the Slides

Once built, the generated slides can be found at:

target/generated-slides/index_en.html

Just open the index_en.html in a browser to view the slides.

Some features require the slides to be viewed via a http/https url you can do this by running:

mvn jetty:run-exploded

And goto http://127.0.0.1:8080/index_en.html in a browser to view.

If you add ?print-pdf at the end of the URL, you can then print the slide deck into a PDF document.

Some key shortcuts that may help you give a presentation:

• Cursor keys and space can navigate the slides.
• Press S will show speaker notes and a timer in a separate window.
• Press F for full screen.
• Press N for next slide or P for previous slide.
• Press O (for overview) will show a slide map / overview.
• Press B will black the screen.
