How to create a new presentation

First you need to install showoff and all its depencies.

Then you run showoff create presentationname within the showoff-presentations directory.

After that you cd into your new presentation directory and run ../install_template.sh which will create symbolic links to the assets in the /template folder.

Alternativly, to create a presentation with Railslove template, run ./create_with_template.sh presentationname

Start showoff presentation server in your presentation's directory

run showoff serve

Railslove Template

Defaults:

• Bullet list default layout when composing a list.
  
• Title and Text default layout when content has a title and text
  

You can assign each slide a different style and style combinations.
Available styles are:

• opener First slide with Raillove logo (any content is hidden)
  
• Agenda special layout when composing a list. It is recommended for this layout not to use a header, just use normal text as the title
  
• callout shows a callout/bubble
  You can include one title (#) and one line of text. It can fit up to 3 lines of wrapped text
  
  • logo combined with callout, the railslove logo is added below the callout
    
  • supported background colors: (combined with callout)
    • green (default)
      
    • cyan
      
    • lila
      
    • orange (sample below includes logo too)
      
• chapter-opener green background with white text in the middle
  
• full-page-image single image with caption automatically take from the image's alt attribute
  

P.S.: test_new_template/one/01_slide.md shows off these features in use

How to print (or save as PDF)

Works best in Safari.

1. Press Alt + P, this will break the presentation and display all the slides in one page
2. Print the page (Cmd + P), select landscape layout and check the print backgrounds option.
3. Print to actual paper or save as PDF ;)
