Template for using revealjs.

Idea

• Clone this repo
• Run the install script
• You have a clean new start for your presentation

Prerequisites

• wget
• tar

Tested with Linux and Windows.

Using RevealJs obviously requires NodeJs. This setup does not require NodeJs.

Initial setup

There are 2 theme templates:

• dark
• light (default).

After cloning this repo:

• Option 1: Light theme. Run ./setup.sh.
  • It will create a template with a light background template.
• Option 2: Dark theme. Run ./setup.sh --dark.
  • It will create a template with a dark background template.
• The setup.sh script will remove the .git folder so you can start from scratch.
• cd slides && npm install && npm start

That's it!

Printing notes for usage during presentation

Although reveal.js provides a nice notes feature, I seldomly stand infront of the presentation laptop to view them. Therefore I prefer printed slides with some space for hand-written notes.

The file convert2notes.sh uses pdfjam to convert a pdf 1-page-per-slide to multiple-pages-to-slide. It requires a TeX installation.
