the Revelator

Who's That Writin' Reveal.js Slide HTML?

Not me.

Relevator generates Reveal JS presentation decks from simplified (and easier to edit) YAML files.

Various things may be rough here and features are being added as they are needed, and I'm ok with that. Pull requests will be entertained.

Background

Reveal.js is a pretty awesome framework for generating web-based slides.

This is what Reveal.js looks like: http://lab.hakim.se/reveal-js/#/

HTML you write typically looks like: https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js/blob/master/index.html

Except with Revelator, you can write simpler things like: https://github.com/mpdehaan/slide-the-revelator/blob/master/test.yml

Which is more the way I want to compose and tweak slides.

Usage

chmod +x write_it
vim test.yml
write_it test.yml my_presentation_directory
sensible-browser my_presentation_directory
