vimdeck-show

Wrappers around vimdeck and some useful settings for a smooth presentation

Overview

Save your presentation as slides.md and put it into an empty directory dir.

Start your presentation using bin/show.sh found in this repository.

Example:

show.sh dir

Features

Support for hand-made files

Along with the slides.md you can have hand-made slides, overriding the vimdeck generated ones. These hand-made files must be put in the same directory as slides.md as hm_slideNNN.md.

Example:

hm_slide013.md
hm_slide042.md

Last file

etc/last_slide.md is appended to the presentation as the last file (slide999.md).

This can be overridden by a last_slide.md put in the dir directory given to show.sh.

Modification of vimdeck generated script.vim

The files etc/script_pre.vim and etc/script_post.vim are prepended/appended respectively to the vimdeck generated presentation/script.vim file.

This can be overridden by a script.vim file put in the dir directory given to show.sh. If the file exists, it will be appended to the final presentation/script.vim file.

Markdown

Put etc/markdown.vim filetype plugin file under ~/.vim/after/ftplugin directory.

Notes

PDF

To create a PDF file out of the presentation, save each slide as a screenshot, then use these images for creating the PDF:

convert $(find -maxdepth 1 -type f -name '*.png' | sort -n | paste -sd\ ) presentation.pdf

Screen

For saving screenshots of the presentation (to create a pdf file) disable the hardstatus of your GNU screen:

hardstatus ignore

and put your presentation in full screen (f.i. using F11 in gnome-terminal).
