Welcome to Slipshow’s documentation!
Slipshow is a presentation tool that unlocks new ways of presenting.
Slipshow allows several presentation styles that can easily be mixed-and-matched. One of them is the traditional slide-based presentation, but the other two are more unusual.
In a typed presentation, the equivalent of a slide is called a slip. Each slip is like a slide, but with unlimited height, so the content can be arbitrarily long! During the presentation, the point of view will scroll down to reveal the hidden content, following a script given by the presenter!
A drawn presentation replays the author’s hand-drawn content. It makes presentations such as the ones made by minutephysics, RSA animate, or Suckerpinch possible for a live presentation. There is no need for drawing skills to make such a presentation more didactic, more entertaining, more satisfying to create, or just to feel more human than boring bullet points.
Slipshow compiles files written in an extension of Markdown, to a standalone HTML file that’s viewable offline in any web browser.
This documentation can be read linearly. It alternates between more in-depth explanations, hands-on tutorial, and technical references. If you know what you are looking for, each section aims to be focused and reasonably self-contained, so you can go directly to what you are looking for.
We advise you to start by reading the tutorials, starting with the first. You can also peek at the Examples.
