Feature Request: export to HTML about reveal-md

[shangxiao]

Would be awesome to just auto gen HTML with a command then push up on gh-pages!

Not sure if I understand. You can provide a directory and see the Markdown
files. What exactly do you need?

I love using reveal.md & how it lets me go quickly from outline to a
presentation. However, then I find myself wanting to more carefully tweak a
presentation & I want access to the full HTML.

I'd love to be able to run reveal-md slides.md --html and get a directory
called slides with an HTML file & required assets.

As I understood, he wants a feature to export the presentation as HTML. Once the required command is fired, all the necessary files(CSS, JS, images etc.) should be stored in a different directory along with an index.html file.
It would be useful for porting the presentation to a different computer(that don't have nodejs and reveal-md) and present it just by double clicking index.html in browser.

yes, exactly.

OK thanks for explanation.

The browser has a "Save page" option that does the same?

No. I tried it once, and I got a blank page(on Chrome at least).
@neuromusic Can you please try again and tell?

What exactly were the issues? Because if we would have an "export to HTML" feature, it would do pretty much the same, right?

Saving as a complete web page from Chrome doesn't work.

A few links to resources seem to be generated on the fly with paths like /plugin/markdown/marked.js. Saving HTML from Chrome flattens everything in a folder named after the file you save the HTML to and rewrites all the references it found from <script> and <link> tags. This rewrite step would be missing the paths embedded in js.

wow yes, an option to export the presentation as a static HTML instead of starting a server would be really awesome!! 👍

I guess I did something like this now :)
use e.g.
reveal-md example.md --static > reveal.js/index.html
As you see you have to download the reveal.js to some place and extract the folder to save the exported static html file right there.

The pull request is this: #55

Maybe some one wants to build something that compiles all assets into one single html file. There probably is already a package somewhere on npm that can do exactly this

A bit more on the issue with Ctrl + S and temporary solution.

Using Ctrl + S I get a website referencing resources as such:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./Reveal_files/reveal.css">

Using Ctrl + U to view at the source of the page the link becomes:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/reveal.css">

Now the later I can save to an index.html and put it in a folder with the reveal.js resources to have a html version of the presentation. I feel like this is what @rapilabs was talking about, but hopefully more clearly illustrates the issue with just "saving" the website.

It would be a really great feature to get a single .html that I can then just move around and open anywhere. With all the js and css files included. Idealy I think even all the image base64 encoded in it.

Thanks, @xy124. I installed this library thinking I could export to HTML, but it's not useful to me if it can't. I'll try using your fork for now, thanks again.
