current (very manual) workflow

[jueyang]

1. Convert word doc to markdown.
   • See content directory.
   • File names are arbitrary at the moment.
   • There is one markdown file per author. If an author has multiple articles, add the separator --- . example.
2. Create one "slide" (a terminology in Reveal.js) per markdown.
   • This means each author has slides with consistent background color. see background
3. Format the poems according to the author's intention.
   • This happens in the markdown file. Depending on the content, the formatting can range from minimal to complex.
   • example for minimal. Standard markdown syntax with italicizing.
   • example for complex
4. Link to the right slide in index.html.
   • The numbered slide router is included in Reveal.js.
   • See config
   • Links are added manually at this moment.

How can this workflow be better and more usable by non-technical people?

1. Process for Word to markdown to content directory.
2. More defined procedures for editing in markdown
   • html mix?
   • more programmatic way to define white space (rather than approximation)
3. Templating index.html.
   • Jekyll or another templating engine? This requires quite some dev.
