hyhyhy

A Ruby library for creating and outputting professional, business-looking (HTML5) presentations that can be viewed inside the browser!

Introduction

hyhyhy is used from the Ruby CLI and relies on a series of steps that developers (and even regular users) can go through to build a simple presentation.

Once these steps completed, an HTML5 file is generated which can be accessed, viewed, and hosted online.

Features

All hyhyhy presentations come with support for a wide range of features, like Markdown text formatting, page transitions, sequential transitions for objects on the page, syntax highlighting, and mathematical functions.

There’s also support for keyboard shortcuts, showing the position inside the overall presentation timeline, hashed URLs for easy deep-linking, automatic rebuilds on content changes, responsive layouts, and touch gestures on mobile devices.

All presentations are very well supported across browsers and the library also includes lots of documentation.

You can create a new project by generating structure like this. Make sure that the destination folder does not exist because it will be overwritten.
