Custom Styles

To add custom styles to your slides, just create stylesheets in the same directory as your presentation markdown file:

| - presentation-directory
  | - slides.md
  | - styles.css

The additional styles will be added to your generated slides.

Navigation

Give your presentation!

• left, right arrows to navigate through slides
• esc to go home

Syntax Highlighting

For Ruby:

@@@ ruby
    def foo
      :bar
    end
@@@

For Javascript

@@@ js
    function foo() {
      return 'bar';
    }
@@@

For ERb:

@@@ rhtml
    <%= @post.created_at.to_s(:fancy) %>
@@@

Requirements

• Nokogiri
• makers-mark
• pygments (for syntax highlighting)

Todo

• Other means of navigation besides left/right keys
• Vertical view of all slides in a row
• Generate PDFs (maybe via cucumber)
• Stop making Nokogiri sad when parsing out snippets
