Magic Reveal

Magic Reveal makes creating presentations easy and fun.

See it in action at the demo/tutorial

Installation

Use gem to install magic_reveal:

$ gem install magic_reveal

The version numbers are the based on the versions of reveal.js. The last number is the revision specific to Magic Reveal.

Requirements

• Ruby 1.9.3 or newer
• A recent version of Bundler

Magic Reveal *may* work on non-posix systems, but I make no promises. Pull Requests are welcome.

Usage

To get started:

$ magic-reveal new my-presentation
$ cd my-presentation
$ vim slides.md

Feel free to replace vim with the editor of your choice.

Viewing the presentation

$ magic-reveal start

Then open your browser to http://localhost:9292.

Write a static index.html

$ magic-reveal static

This generates a static index.html suitable for committing to git.

The format of slides.md

Magic Reveal uses github-flavored markdown as much as practical.

External code files

If you want your source code to be in files outside your slides.md, no problem!

To load source from example.rb, for example, then use @@source = <filename> as the body of the code section.

For example:

`@@source = example.rb`

This works with triple back-quote blocks and four-space indented blocks sections as well.

Development

There is a full RSpec test suite. Make sure you write tests before you continue.

For the places where I don't have tests because I couldn't figure it out, please help!

Future plans

• Generate static sites via the magic-reveal command line tool
• A configuration file, for using plugins, etc.
