The merge of convenience and cool!

Hovercraft! is a tool to make impress.js presentations from reStructuredText. For a quick explanation, see the demo.

• Write your presentations in a text markup language. No slow, limiting GUI, no annoying HTML!
• Pan, rotate and zoom in 3D, with automatic repositioning of slides!
• A presenter console with notes and slide previews!
• Support for showing mathematical formulas.
• Styling is easy with CSS.
• The slide show generated is in HTML, so you only need a web browser to show it.
• Easy sharing, as it can be put up on a website for anyone to see!

Full documentation is available at readthedocs.org, and also in the documentation subdirectory.

Hovercraft requires Python 3 and can be installed like any Python package. The easiest way is to install pip, and then run:

$ pip3 install hovercraft

Hovercraft is untested on Windows, but there is no reason it shouldn't work, at least in theory.
