Remark

A simple Julia package to create presentations from markdown using Remark.

Example use

To install type the following command in the Julia Pkg REPL

(v1.0) pkg> add Remark

Check out the Remark docs on how to write the markdown for a Remark slideshow. The most important thing is to use --- to separate slides; an example markdown file can be found here.

import Remark

# Generate a presentation (html+markdown) from the markdown file "example.md"
# and save it in the folder "presentation/mybeautifulslides".
slideshowdir = Remark.slideshow("example.md", "presentation/mybeautifulslides",
                                options = Dict("ratio" => "16:9"))

# Open presentation in default browser.
Remark.open(slideshowdir)

Features

• The slideshow command creates a slideshow that uses local javascript libraries: the resulting presentation folder can be opened offline.

• Using the Literate package, it is possible to create a presentation from a Julia script. As explained in the Literate documentation, add a comment to slides corresponding to markdown. A slide separator is now # --- for example.

• Documenter is run on the markdown by default: to keep the markdown as is, use documenter=false.

• All features of Documenter are automatically available here, for example use # hide at the end of a line of code for it to not appear in the slideshow (useful for saving plots, see example).
