You have an outline written in Emacs Org-Mode. Export it to HTML. Add Org-HTML-Slideshow, and you have an interactive slide presentation that runs in a web browser!
Supports anything Org-Mode can export: bulleted lists, code blocks, images, etc.
Should work in most modern web browsers; tested only in Google Chrome 18.0.1025.11 beta.
Org-HTML-Slideshow is written in ClojureScript.
Step 1. Copy the following files from the production directory
to the directory containing your .org file:
org-html-slideshow.js
common.css
presenter.css
projection.css
screen.css
Step 2. Add the following lines to the bottom of your .org file:
#+TAGS: slide(s)
#+STYLE: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="common.css" />
#+STYLE: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="screen.css" media="screen" />
#+STYLE: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="projection.css" media="projection" />
#+STYLE: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="presenter.css" media="presenter" />
#+BEGIN_HTML
<script type="text/javascript" src="org-html-slideshow.js"></script>
#+END_HTML
# Local Variables:
# org-export-html-style-include-default: nil
# org-export-html-style-include-scripts: nil
# End:
Step 3. Close and re-open your .org file. Type y to accept the
buffer-local variables.
For each org-mode headline that you want to make into a slide, add the
:slide: tag by typing C-c C-c s RET with the cursor on the
headline.
Additional tags will be added as CSS classes on the slides.
Read more about tags in the Org-Mode manual.
Type C-c C-e h in your .org file to export as HTML. Repeat whenever
you modify the .org file.
Read more about HTML export in the Org-Mode manual.
Open the generated HTML file in your browser and type t to begin the
slide show.
The Space, Enter, Page Down, and n keys advance to the next slide.
The Page Up and p keys go back to the previous slide.
The t key toggles between slide-show and normal views.
Move the mouse to the lower right-hand corner of the screen to show a control panel with links to navigate the slide show by mouse.
While playing the slide show, click on the control panel's "Open presenter preview" link. This will open a new window showing the currently visible slide, upcoming slide, wall clock time, and elapsed time since the presentation began.
Even with the presenter preview window open, the main slide show window must be focused (the "active" window) in order for the keyboard commands to work.
You can modify the appearance of your slides by editing the stylesheets:
projection.cssaffects only the slide-show viewscreen.cssaffects only the normal viewcommon.cssaffects bothpresenter.cssaffects only the presenter preview
To develop and build org-html-slides, you will need the following programs already installed:
- Git
- Leiningen 1.6.2 or later
- Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.6 or later
In the top-level directory of this project, run the following commands to download additional dependencies:
git submodule update
lein deps
Launch a Clojure REPL with:
lein repl
Then run the build with:
(use 'build)
(build :development)
You will need Emacs (version 23+ recommended) and org-mode (version 7+ recommended) to generate the HTML.
Open example.org in Emacs and type C-c C-e b. Emacs will generate
an HTML file and open it in your default browser. Type t to begin
the slide show.
Launch a Clojure REPL with:
lein repl
Then run the build with:
(use 'build)
(build :production)
- Better stylesheets
- ? key to display on-screen help
- click mouse to advance slides
- Link visible in original document to begin slide show
- "Slide X of N" display
- Jump to slide from a list
- Slide transitions?
- Animation?
