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 following two are more interesting. I call them “typed presentation” and “drawn presentation”.
In a typed presentation, the equivalent of a slide is called a slip. Each slip is like a slide, but with no bottom limit. That is, the content can be arbitrarily long! During the presentation, the camera will “scroll” down to reveal the hidden content, following a script given by the presenter!
In a drawn presentation, the content consists of replaying a recorded drawing made by the author. It makes presentation such as the one made by minutephysics, RSA animate or Suckerpinch doable for a live presentation. Note that there is no need for drawing skill to make such a presentation more didactic, entertaining, more satisfying to create, or just feeling more human.
Slipshow compiles files written in an extension of markdown, to a standalone html file 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 tries to be focus and reasonably self-contained, so you can directly go 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.
