 HTML5 Slide Template



Configuring the slides


Much of the deck is customized by changing the settings in slide_config.js.

Some of the customizations include the title, Analytics tracking ID, speaker

information (name, social urls, blog), web fonts to load, themes, and other

general behavior.


Customizing the #io12 hash


The bottom of the slides include #io12 by default. If you'd like to change

this, please update the variable $social-tags: '#io12'; in

/theme/scss/default.scss.


See the next section on "Editing CSS" before you go editing things.


Editing CSS


Compass is a CSS preprocessor used to compile

SCSS/SASS into CSS. We chose SCSS for the new slide deck for maintainability,

easier browser compatibility, and because...it's the future!


That said, if not comfortable working with SCSS or don't want to learn something

new, not a problem. The generated .css files can already be found in

(see /theme/css). You can just edit those and bypass SCSS altogether.

However, our recommendation is to use Compass. It's super easy to install and use.


Installing Compass and making changes


First, install compass:


sudo gem update --system

sudo gem install compass



Next, you'll want to watch for changes to the exiting .scss files in /theme/scss

and any new one you add:


$ cd io-2012-slides

$ compass watch



This command automatically recompiles the .scss file when you make a change.

Its corresponding .css file is output to /theme/css. Slick.


By default, config.rb in the main project folder outputs minified

.css. It's a best practice after all! However, if you want unminified files,

run watch with the style output flag:


compass watch -s expanded



Note: You should not need to edit _base.scss.


Running the slides


The slides can be run locally from file:// making development easy :)


Running from a web server


If at some point you should need a web server, use serve.sh. It will

launch a simple one and point your default browser to http://localhost:8000/template.html:


$ cd io-2012-slides

$ ./serve.sh



You can also specify a custom port:


$ ./serve.sh 8080



Presenter mode


The slides contain a presenter mode feature (beta) to view + control the slides

from a popup window.


To enable presenter mode, add presentme=true to the URL: http://localhost:8000/template.html?presentme=true


To disable presenter mode, hit http://localhost:8000/template.html?presentme=false


Presenter mode is sticky, so refreshing the page will persist your settings.
