mdpress
This project is looking for a new maintainer! If you are interested, please send me a message. In the meantime, I will continue accepting merge requests but I won't be fixing bugs.
This is a tool that converts markdown files to presentations using impress.js.
Example
This presentation was created from this markdown file.
This presentation was created from the same markdown file and a different stylesheet using mdpress -s [stylesheet name].
Advantages
- dead simple, works with any markdown file
- comes with a beautiful default stylesheet + more styles (more styles TBD) ... no need to write your own
- ...but you can write your own easily if you want!
- comes with prettify integrated, does code highlighting out of the box
- has an auto-update mode; update your markdown file and mdpress will update your presentation automatically
- quick install as a ruby gem
- presentations are tiny and easy to distribute
- presentations are easy to read as a plain text file
Install
gem install mdpress
Usage
mdpress [url or filename.md]
This creates a directory named filename. Start the presentation by opening up index.html.
See full usage (it's easy!).
