Basic structure to create simple HTML presentations using Pandoc's markdown and reveal.js. Reveal.js and some plugins (https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js/wiki/Plugins,-Tools-and-Hardware) are added as submodules, so clone this repository as:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/vitay/PandocPresentation.git

or call git submodule update --init --recursive after cloning.

This package provides the basic files to generate a HTML5 + reveal.js presentation from Markdown code using pandoc. pandoc of course needs to be installed.

To generate the html file:

make

The resulting HTML file has to be opened in a recent and decent browser (i.e. everything except IE).

• f: goes fullscreen.
• e: switches to printing mode (?print-pdf in the location bar).
• s: opens presenter's view.
• v: goes black (pause).
• m: opens the menu to select slides.
• c: changes the cursor to a pen.
• b: opens a chalkboard.
• CAPSLOCK: changes the cursor to a laser pointer.

Refer to https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#pandocs-markdown for most of the syntax.

The YAML header should look like:

---
title: Title of the presentation
subtitle: Subtitle
author: Author name
date: Date or Institution

logo: img/tuc.svg
logo-width: 35%
---

Headers with level 1 (#) or 2 (##) create new slides, as well as the horizontal ruler (---).

Recent versions of pandoc allow two columns slides:

::: {.columns}
::: {.column width="50%"}

* Column 1

:::
::: {.column width="50%"}

* Column 2

:::
:::

For backward compatibility, the script assets/columns.py (you will have to install pandoc-filters) allows a simpler variant:

[leftcol 50]

* Column 1

[rightcol 50]

* Column 2

[endcol]

For credits and citation, the following <div> with a font size at 50% is available:
