slideshow/simple is new reader to help quickly create slideshows for Racket's Slideshow. It was originally inspired by sent, but has expanded in capabilities beyond that of sent.
An example slideshow looks like this.
#lang slideshow/simple
slideshow/simple
!image.jpg
# comment line, ignored
Depends on...
- Racket
- Slideshow
slideshow FILENAME
\#lang slideshow/simple
\!IMAGE.png
thanks / questions?
It can be run like so:
$ slideshow filename.rktTo add an image, use !/path/to/image, and to add a slide with some
text, just write some stuff followed by a blank line. Multiple lines
of text without blank lines will place all the text on a single slide.
A line that starts with a # character is completely ignored. If a
comment line comes immediately after an image, paragraph, quote, or
list the comment counts as a blank line, and a new slide will be
created for the next non blank/non comment line. The comment will
become speaker notes.
A slide cannot contain both an image and text. Therefore, the following slideshow is invalid:
#lang slideshow/simple
!image.jpg
foo bar baz quux
If a slide starts with a \ the \ is ignored. This allows escaping
literal !IMAGE.png, lines that would otherwise by treated as
# comments comments, and ` literal escaped lines.
As mentioned above, speaker notes get added to a slide when comments are placed directly under your slide content:
#lang slideshow/simple
This is the slide
# These will show up as speaker notes.
# This will show up on the same slide.
sent doesn't have lists, but they can be emulated by creating a multi-line slide with bullets as the first character. In slideshow/simple we've got bulleted, and numerical lists.
#lang slideshow/simple
1. We've
2. Got
3. Them.
- We've
- Got
- Them.
Note, though, that lists must be by themselves. There's no title support, or additional paragraph support. This is considered a bug.
Long lines will be wrapped to fit, rather than overrun the slide, or be scaled to super tiny font sizes.
Quotes are popular in slides. slideshow/simple supports them.
#lang slideshow/simple

There is none. We'll likely add monospace support, cause that'd be nice for inline code.
Run raco pkg install in a checkout.
