Slidedeck: HTML5 Slideshows in markdown

### [Take a look at these slides!](http://rawgit.com/rmcgibbo/slidedeck-example/master/index.html)

Overview
========

This is a repackaging of the google io 2012 slidedeck, with [some](https://github.com/francescolaffi/elastic-google-io-slides) modifications, to be a little easier to use and more suitable for scientific presentations.

We've made a few changes:

- You edit and author your entire presentation in markdown.
- All the metadata about your project is set within the markdown file, including things like
the title and author.
- It's packaged as a python project.
- You run `slidedeck create` to make a new deck. This will create a new directory with your
project. In particular, there will be a fine in there called `slides.md` that contains the
markdown source for your slides.
- `slidedeck render` will render your deck from markdown to html5.
- `slidedeck watch` will watch your project and rerender the slides whenever you change the
content (useful for iterative development).
- I made a few stylistic changes to the css, including changing the font size.
- The slides can contain LaTeX, which is rendered via mathjax.
- There are no google logos all over the place

Getting started
===============
`slidedeck` can be installed with `pip`.

```
$ pip install slidedeck
```

Create a new project, complete with some template slides, the css, and the javascript.
```
$ slidedeck create my_slides
```

Look in there for the `slides.md` file, and edit it to your liking. When you want to see
your work, compile the slides from markdown into HTML.
```
$ slidedeck render
```

You can also have the HTML *auto-compiled* from markdown, any time the files change on disk.
```
$ slidedeck watch
```

If you're curious about how any of these commands work, pass the `-h` flag to the command
line executable,

```
$ slidedeck -h
$ slidedeck create -h
```

Tricks
======

`slidedeck watch` works nicely with the [tincr](http://tin.cr/) extension for
chrome, which will refresh your browser every time the html files its serving
are changed on disk.

### Adding molecules with JSmol
If you have internet access, you can add a molecule to your slides by using
```html

```
more options are explained [here](http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/jmol.php).

For an offline version, you need a local copy of JSmol.min.js, and j2s (see the [JSmol wiki](http://wiki.jmol.org/index.php/Jmol_JavaScript_Object#Installation)).

Then add the following to the header of base.html
```html

var Info = {
height: 500,
width: 500,
use: "HTML5"
};

```
And insert
```html

jmolApplet0 = Jmol.getApplet("jmolApplet0", Info);
Jmol.script(jmolApplet0,"background white; load 1A9U.pdb; cartoon only;")

```
in the slide where you want the molecule to appear.
