waylonwalker / markata-slides

A slides plugin for markata that allows you to create presentations in markdown from the comfort of your favorite editor. Each new h2 tag (## in markdown) becomes a new slide. This plugin leverages the built-in feeds plugin for navigation, and adds in some hotkeys (j/k) to go the the previous and next slides.

Markata Slides

A slide plugin for markata.

Heavily inspired by lookatme. I have been a long time user of creating slides in markdown, and lookatme has long been my go to slide viewer. It works great for many applications, but sometimes the terminal does not work for the audience, and other times I want some good looking images in my presentation. markata-slides builds a website with forward/backward buttons, and j/k hotkeys similar to lookatme.

Installation

pip install markata-slides

markata-slides's Issues

Cycle through slides doesn't work from last slide to first slide

If I k through to the last slide then k again won't bring me to slide-0, but 'j' will cycle me from first to last

prev/next is backwards

Slides drops last slide

The last slide is dropped by default - workaround is to add ## at the bottom
