This would be even more fantastic if it could generate slides from something like Markdown instead of having you write HTML manually.

- chopsueyar 15y agoSounds like you have your weekend project.
- diamondhead 15y agoyou might be interested at using Jekyll for that purpose; http://github.com/mojombo/jekyll http://github.com/mojombo/jekyll
- avar 15y agoI use it already for generating websites, but I haven't seen a plugin for it that makes it easy to generate slides like these.
- xtacy 15y agohttps://github.com/bracki/showoff https://github.com/bracki/showoff is what you want; maybe it's possible to move the theme to showoff?
- telemachos 15y agoJust curious, but why link to that fork rather than the creator's main branch[1]? (I'm genuinely curious: maybe ownership has changed?) [1] https://github.com/schacon/showoff https://github.com/schacon/showoff
- xtacy 15y agoSorry I was just lazy.. :) Thanks for the actual link.
- telemachos 15y agoI use Slidedown[1] for that. It has some wrinkles, but overall I find it does what I need it to do with very little hassle. [1] https://github.com/nakajima/slidedown https://github.com/nakajima/slidedown
- blocke 15y agoI thought that too before I spent some time with a Markdown based presentation like Landslide: https://github.com/adamzap/landslide https://github.com/adamzap/landslide I found myself needing to "drop down" into HTML quite often as my slides were more complex then just the simple bullet point lists. Markdown just didn't have the expressiveness I needed for a presentation. Markdown would be fine for a say a word document but there is more need for complex layout in a good presentation sometimes.
- DougWebb 15y agoInline HTML is a part of the Markdown syntax though: http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#html http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#html So you can use Markdown for most of the content, and HTML when you need more complex layout control.
- blocke 15y agoYou're right it does and that's what I use. But something doesn't feel right when over half my slides are using that particular feature.
