project status:

basically dead :(

I don't realistically think this is something I am going to work on. The PPT normalizer is something I might actually do.

But if you want to run with this project, then note the following:

• I set most of the currently open issues to have the label wontfix and then closed them. So re-open the wontfix issued, and get to work!
• There are also goals and progress below.

Songs and slides for DCC

goals

• Extremely easy to create/modify songs and projects. No more copy and pasting slides together.
• No more mis-matched styles; just a global styles.css file.
• No bloated software (e.g. powerpoint, libre office)
• Better keyboard shortcuts:
  • Previous slide: Page Up, Left, Up, J, O, Backspace
  • Next Slide: Page Down, Right, Down, K, P, Space
  • First Slide: Home
  • Last Slide: End

project spec

A project is a list of songs, pictures, and blank slides.

• a picture (e.g. welcome.png)
• a song file (e.g. amazing-grace.txt)
• a blank slide (blank line).

A project is stored in a text file like:

welcome.png

intro-2015-05-23.txt

amazing-grace.txt
another-song.txt

last-song.txt

slide spec

picture

A slide can be a picture file. The picture centered horizontally and vertically, and is not stretched.

song

A song is a text file. It holds headers, footers, lyrics, and slide breaks.

• Slide Breaks
  • A slide break is a line with three or more hyphens (-).
  • A slide break at the beginning of a song file (without content before it) will be ignored. It will not be interpreted as an empty slide.
  • A slide break at the end of a song file (without content after it) will be ignored. It will not be interpreted as an empty slide.
  • Consecutive slide breaks are interpreted as empty slides.
  • Newlines surrounding slide breaks are ignored.
  • Can be matched with this regex: /^-{3,}$/gm
• Headers
  • A header must not be defined below lyrics in the same slide. (Usually defined at the top of a file, or just below a slide break.)
  • A header must begin with a pound sign followed by a space (# Title of Song).
  • A slide in which a header is defined will use that header.
  • Subsequent slides within that song file will inherit the header, unless a later header overrides it.
  • Can be matched with this regex: /^# .+/gm
• Footers
  • A footer must not be defined above lyrics in the same slide. (Usually defined at the bottom of a file, or just above a slide break.)
  • A footer must begin with a greater-than sign followed by a space (> License or whatever).
  • A slide in which a footer is defined will use that footer.
  • Subsequent slides will not inherit the footer.
  • Can be matched with this regex: /^> .+/gm
• Lyrics
  • Lyrics are anything that is not a header, footer, or a slide break.
  • Surrounding newlines are ignored.

# Amazing Grace

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost but now am found,
was blind, but now, I see.
--------------------------------------------
T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear,
and Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear,
the hour I first believed.
--------------------------------------------
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
we have already come.
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far,
and Grace will lead us home.
--------------------------------------------
The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
as long as life endures.
--------------------------------------------
When we've been here ten thousand years,
bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise,
then when we've first begun.
--------------------------------------------
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost but now am found,
was blind, but now, I see.
