Presentation build system
Description
This is what I use to build my slides. I have the following goals:
- Easy to write
- Easy to change/copy-paste
- Automated formatting of images
- Automated rebuild when something changes
- Ability to write the text of the talk in the presentation
- Ability to extract the text of the presentation as a blog post
- Ability to easily track changes with a version control system
For example on how to use, see example.pandoc.
Usage
- Write your presentation as something.pandoc
- Put your .png images in
img/ - Run
make - Lather, rinse, repeat
Requirements
- Make
- php (for building the text)
- imagemagick (image manipulation)
- pandoc (duh)
- texlive-lang-cyrillic if you want to write in Cyrillic
- git (if you want to put this in a version control system, which I highly recommend)
This all was tested/developed on Debian.
Missing features
- Multiple images on one page
- This is not supported by pandoc in anyway, you'll need LaTeX for that
- Support for other images than png
- Too lazy to add it
