Really simple Org presentation tool.
Keep an Org outline and switch the org-pres-mode on and you can open each headline in turn by pressing the space bar. As you open each headline the previous one will be closed.
So you might start like this:
* this guy invents a language * it's so exciting and powerful * they decide to build a computer around it
and then you press SPACE and you have this:
* this guy invents a language ** John McCarthy [[file:./jmcbw.jpg]] *** 1958 * it's so exciting and powerful * they decide to build a computer around it
and then SPACE again and you have this:
* this guy invents a language * it's so exciting and powerful ** Richard Greenblatt [[file:./2-4.Greenblatt-Richard_Knight.1978.L02645385.MIT.lg.jpg]] * they decide to build a computer around it
As you go org-pres-mode also opens any image it happens to find in the current outline in another window.
So you get a kind of useful presentation like tool for basically only:
- writing out your thoughts in a structure
- adding some entertaining images
which makes for a pretty good presentation for most things.
Some thoughts have occurred to me for making this better:
- when a top level outline is open space should descend into it
- using outline-next-visible-heading
- if an image link is found on the current level, open it in the same way as for the main one
- space should also move to *any* link
- so it should go:
- initial space expands top level and closes previous
- another space descends to next level (and next level and next level)
- when on a level with a url space travels to that first
- so it should go:
- can we change the font size of the current top level?
- ideally it would increase by 100%
