Slide'em up is a presentation tool. You write some slides in markdown, choose a style and it displays it in HTML5. With a browser in full-screen, you can make amazing presentations!
-
Install slide-em-up:
gem install slide-em-up
-
Create a directory for your presentation:
mkdir foobar && cd foobar
-
Create a section for your slides:
mkdir main
-
Write some slides:
vim main/slides.md
!SLIDE # My First slide # It's awesome !SLIDE # My second slide # This rocks too!
-
Write the
presentation.json
file with the metadata:{ "title": "My first presentation", "theme": "CSSS", "duration": 20, "sections": { "main": "Title of my main section" } }
-
Launch the tool:
slide-em-up
-
Open your browser on http://localhost:9000/
-
Use the arrows keys to navigate between the slides
Several themes are available: io2012
, shower
, 3d_slideshow
, reveal
,
html5rocks
, CSSS
and memories
. To choose the theme for your
presentation, edit the presentation.json
file and change the "theme"
element.
You can also create your own theme, for example, by copying the template:
mkdir -p ~/.slide-em-up
cp -r themes/template ~/.slide-em-up/my-theme
$EDITOR ~/.slide-em-up/my-theme/README
This slides are writen in Markdown
and !SLIDE
is the indicator for a new slide.
Example:
!SLIDE
# Title of the first slide #
## A subtitle ##
And some text...
!SLIDE
# Another slide #
* a
* bullet
* list
!SLIDE
# Third slide #
1. **bold**

To highlight some code in your slides, you have to install pygments. Then, surround your code with backticks like this:
```ruby
class Foobar
def baz
puts "Foobar says baz"
end
end
```
When your start slide-em-up in console, a message says something like:
Your remote key is 652df
This remote key can be used to send actions to browsers that display the presentation. For example, this command goes to the next line:
curl http://localhost:9000/remote/652df/next
The last part of the URL is the action and can be next
, prev
, up
or
down
.
It's also possible to force slide-em-up to use a specific remote key by
setting the APIKEY
environment variable:
APIKEY=foobar slide-em-up
You can export your presentation to PDF by installing
phantomjs and then run slide-em-up2pdf
.
I'm using slide-em-up for my own presentations, so you can find some real slides powered by slide-em-up on https://github.com/nono/Presentations.
For example, you can try the presentation "Welcome to the nice world of Golang" on http://blog.menfin.info/Presentations/20120709_Golang_introduction/ and see the sources of it on https://github.com/nono/Presentations/tree/master/20120709_Golang_introduction.
