Slideshow Presentations #52
Comments
Yeah, to be honest I have never found a from-text slides tool that is very satisfying, so I just go back to using Google Slides each time. I am way too picky about making everything look just as I want it to look :-/ But if we want live computation in there and we are fine w/ notebooks as an intermediate then I've found RISE to be pretty nice. It also uses reveal.js under the hood, so it could be that somebody else out there has written a "markdown -> reveal" converter out there edit: yep -> https://github.com/webpro/reveal-md |
I was also using reveal for a while, it worked well (ish) with https://slides.com/ which is by the author I believe. There was a good cross over between the GUI and the HTML output. I also found that I needed more control and faster editing for presentations than what I could do through text-editing. But the export feature was quite nice and allowed mixing of interactive graphics and presentation (e.g. https://row1.ca/static/logically-rectangular-mesh/index.html#/1). Very interested in this ...! :) |
Something relevant that changed since the rise of RISE is the appearance of thebelab (+ binder). Of course it doesn't render RISE obsolete, but it opens new possibilities. |
Yeh cheers guys, certainly food for thought. I guess maybe there're two kinds of use cases:

Well if I could actually use the damn thing! googleworkspace/md2googleslides#70 |
@chrisjsewell actually I have pursued a "hybrid" approach before which has worked well. I'd have my "main" slides in google slides, and then jump to a RISE presentation for some live demos that worked pretty well |
I'm just starting with the new sphinx Jupyter books and the problem I am going to have is I can't use the MyST features for equations and figures if I want to present certain chapters of a book as slides with embedded executions. |
@cpjobling yep this is going to be a challenge until there is MyST support inside of Jupyter environments (I believe that RISE cells use nbconvert to convert |
Just a note that it looks like there is a sphinx revealjs extension here: https://github.com/attakei/sphinx-revealjs I wonder if we could leverage that to get revealjs books that could use myst markdown under the hood |
Hi. Bumping this, one of the members at WPILib has developed an extension that may be of interest. |
How/when/what/why?
One for the future, but since I'm just writing a presentation now I'll kick this off.
For sphinx, I haven't really come across any good implementations. In terms of Jupyter Notebooks, RISE I think is the most mature implementation, but is obviously very notebook centric.
Stepping back a bit; is there a good/simple Markdown orientated slide show generator? From a quick google, this provides some possible options: https://opensource.com/article/18/5/markdown-slide-generators.
With presentations, the "difficulty" is that you usually want to be able to have more specific control over the layout, which is not as easy with just text-based files. So it would be ideal if it had some kind of two-way relationship with a GUI. Also, obviously the behemoth in the room is Powerpoint, and ideally there would be at least a one-way export to this format.
