textdemo

A demonstration of the ontological status of different forms of text. This is a javacript demo to be used as part of a reveal.js presentation, or to develop/run stand alone.

Installation

This presentation uses a pattern that allows multiple presentations to be served from one reveal.js instance. The recipe for this is described on https://medium.com/@KienanKB/serving-multiple-reveal-js-presentations-b1a5c086e959#.272hdy7xx. The two basic steps are to create a directory 'decks' in reveal.js and then adjust which html files are being watched by grunt in Grunt.js: where it reads

html: { files: [ '\*.html' ] } )

add 'decks/*/index.html' to the files array, so that it reads:

html: { files: [ '\*.html', 'decks/\*/index.html' ] } )

Then, assuming the above recipe has been followed:

1. Clone this repository in reveal.js/decks
2. Run npm install in the reveal.js directory if you haven't already
3. Run npm start to fire up node.js in the reveal.js directory
4. Point your browser to localhost_or_domain:8000/decks/textdemo

Stand alone uses

1. Clone this repository
2. Run npm install in the textdemo directory to get the standalone dependencies (connect and serve-static)
3. Run npm start in the textdemo directory to start the standalone server
4. Point your browser to localhost:8080/texttransforms.html (not index.html! that's the reveal.js one)

You can adjust port 8080 in server.js if needed.
