Generate slides with Markdown

Usage

Write your talk. Currently, the syntax highlight lexer defaults to Ruby. Adding support for specifying languages is in the TODOs.

!SLIDE

# This is my talk

!SLIDE

## I hope you enjoy it

!SLIDE code

    def foo
      :bar
    end

!SLIDE

Google is [here](http://google.com)

!SLIDE

# Questions?

Generate the output:

$ slidedown my-talk.md

Custom Styles

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

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

The additional styles will be added to your generated slides.

Syntax Highlighting

slidedown syntax highlighting works just like Lighthouse's:

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

Or for JavaScript

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

Requirements

• RDiscount

Todo

• Vertical view of all slides in a row
• Generate PDFs (maybe via cucumber)
