# reveal-jekyll
Transforms Markdown files into presentation slides using [reveal.js](#revealjs) and [Jekyll](#jekyll). The theme is based on [Solarized Colors](https://github.com/altercation/solarized) (by Ethan Schoonover) containing a light and a dark theme.
**reveal-jekyll** is ready for [GitLab Pages](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/pages/) as well as [GitHub Pages](https://pages.github.com/).
[](https://travis-ci.org/tasmo/reveal-jekyll)
Try the **[DEMO presentation](https://tasmo.gitlab.io/reveal-jekyll)** (how to use Jekyll written in German).

## Get `reveal-jekyll` running
### Hosted on GitLab Pages
To see how it works follow the [Tutorial: Create a GitLab Pages website from scratch](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/pages/getting_started/pages_from_scratch.html).
#### As a User or Organization Site on GitLab
To set up a user or organization site `https://${yourname}.gitlab.io/`, fork [reveal-jekyll](https://gitlab.com/tasmo/reveal-jekyll) and name your fork with your user or organization name like `https://gitlab.com/${yourname}/${yourname}.github.io`. Your site will build off the `main` branch.
#### As a Project Site on GitLab
To set up a project site `https://${yourname}.gitlab.io/${projectname}`:
- Fork as above, but name your fork with whatever `${projectname}` you want.
- In [\_config.yml](./_config.yml) change `baseurl: ""` to `baseurl: /${projectname}`. This is [needed](https://byparker.com/blog/2014/clearing-up-confusion-around-baseurl/) to construct asset include and internal link URLs correctly when you are serving your site from a non-root path.
#### For an Existing Repository on GitLab
- Clone your repository.
- Go into it.
- Add [reveal-jekyll](https://github.com/tasmo/reveal-jekyll) as an upstream remote.
- Create an empty branch named like `pages`.
- Delete all cached files of your new `pages` branch from git.
- Clean the directory from uncached files.
- Merge [`reveal-jekyll/main`](https://gitlab.com/tasmo/reveal-jekyll/-/tree/main) with your `${repository}/pages` branch.
```shell
git clone [email protected]/${yourname}/${repository}.git
cd ${repository}
git remote add upstream https://gitlab.com/tasmo/reveal-jekyll.git
git checkout --orphan pages
git rm --cached -r .
git clean -fdx
git merge upstream/main
```
---
### Hosted on GitHub Pages
Follow the instructions on [get started with GitHub Pages](https://pages.github.com/).
#### As a User or Organization Site on GitHub
To set up a user or organization site `https://${yourname}.github.io/`, fork [reveal-jekyll](https://github.com/tasmo/reveal-jekyll) and name your fork with your user or organization name like `${yourname}.github.io`. Your site will build off the main branch.
#### As a Project Site on GitHub
To set up a [project site](https://help.github.com/articles/user-organization-and-project-pages/#project-pages) `https://${yourname}.github.io/${projectname}`:
- Fork as above, but name your fork with whatever `${projectname}` you want.
- Your site will build from the `gh-pages` branch, so you should [set that as the default branch](https://help.github.com/articles/setting-the-default-branch/).
- In [\_config.yml](./_config.yml) in your `gh-pages` branch change `baseurl: ""` to `baseurl: /${projectname}`. This is [needed](https://byparker.com/blog/2014/clearing-up-confusion-around-baseurl/) to construct asset include and internal link URLs correctly when you are serving your site from a non-root path.
#### For an Existing Repository on Github
- Clone your repository.
- Go into it.
- Add [reveal-jekyll](https://github.com/tasmo/reveal-jekyll) as an upstream remote.
- Create an empty branch named `gh-pages`.
- Delete all cached files of your new `gh-pages` branch from git.
- Clean the directory from uncached files.
- Merge [reveal-jekyll](https://github.com/tasmo/reveal-jekyll)/master with your `${repository}/gh-pages`.
```shell
git clone [email protected]/${yourname}/${repository}.git
cd ${repository}
git remote add upstream https://github.com/tasmo/reveal-jekyll.git
git checkout --orphan gh-pages
git rm --cached -r .
git clean -fdx
git merge upstream/main
```
---
### Local Jekyll
Install [RubyGems](https://rubygems.org/pages/download) for your system.
Clone [reveal-jekyll](https://github.com/tasmo/reveal-jekyll) with submodule reveal.js (recommended):
```shell
git clone --recursive --depth 1 https://github.com/tasmo/reveal-jekyll.git
```
…or just download the [zip file](https://gitlab.com/tasmo/reveal-jekyll/-/archive/main/reveal-jekyll-main.zip).
Make sure you have a `Gemfile` in the root of your project containing at least:
```ruby
source "https://rubygems.org"
gem 'github-pages'
```
Install [Bundler](https://bundler.io/) and the dependencies:
```shell
gem install bundler \
bundle install
```
---
### Write Your Slides
Put your Markdown slides in the `_posts` folder [like in any Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/posts/) instance.
Name the files in numbered order or dated following a pattern like `YEAR-MONTH-DAY-TITLE.md`:
```text
2014-1-1-start.md
2014-1-1-intro.md
…
2014-3-2-third-topic-second-slide.md
…
2014-9-8-end.md
2014-9-9-very-last-slide.md
```
Write the slide's header in [Front-matter](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/frontmatter/) and put the Markdown formatted content below. In the header you need at least the `layout: slide` attribute:
```markdown
---
layout: slide
title:
---
MARKDOWN_FOMATTED_SLIDE_CONTENT
```
### Personalize
In the `_config.yml` give your slide show an name, author's name and a description:
```yml
title: reveal-jekyll
author: Thomas Friese
description: Reveal.js for Jekyll with Solarized Color theme
```
### Start Your Slide Show
On GitLab/GitHub Pages you are done. Just open your pages URL in your browser.
An your local machine run:
```shell
bundle exec jekyll serve
```
…and go to `https://127.0.0.1:4000/`.

## [reveal.js](https://lab.hakim.se/reveal-js/)
A framework for easily creating beautiful presentations using HTML.
[reveal.js](https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js) comes with a broad range of features including [nested slides](https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js#markup), [markdown contents](https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js#markdown), [PDF export](https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js#pdf-export), [speaker notes](https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js#speaker-notes) and a [JavaScript API](https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js#api). It's best viewed in a browser with support for CSS 3D transforms but [fallbacks](https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js/wiki/Browser-Support) are available to make sure your presentation can still be viewed elsewhere.

## [Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com/)
[Jekyll](https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll) is a simple, blog-aware, static site generator perfect for personal, project, or organization sites. Think of it like a file-based CMS, without all the complexity. Jekyll takes your content, renders Markdown and Liquid templates, and spits out a complete, static website ready to be served by Apache, Nginx or another web server. Jekyll is the engine behind [GitHub Pages](https://pages.github.com), which you can use to host sites right from your GitHub repositories.

## Differences and Limitations
### Slide Attributes
Attributes to the slide `` elements are written in the [Front-matter](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/frontmatter/):
```markdown
---
layout: slide
title: Background Transitions
data:
transition: linear
background: 'red'
background-transition: slide
---
```
### Fragments
Markdown fragments must be covered in a HTML block element using the attribute `markdown="1"`:
```html
# Markdown Heading
Fragment 1 text
Fragment 2 text
```
Fragments can be nested.
### Vertical Slides
For vertical scrolling you need to leave the `title:` blank. All content on vertical slides must be wrapped in HTML `` blocks:
```html
---
layout: slide
title:
---
# Top Slide
# Bottom Slide
```
### Configuration
All options for the reveal.js presentation are available in the `_config.yml` as sub keys of `reveal:`.
The configuration will be built in the `` block at the bottom of the `index.html` presentation file.
### Code Syntax Highlighting
To insert a highlighted code block the code can be surrounded with the [Liquid](https://shopify.github.io/liquid/) tag `highlight`:
```liquid
{% highlight coffee %}
# Objects:
math =
root: Math.sqrt
square: square
cube: (x) -> x * square x
{% endhighlight %}
```
Insted of Rouge for highlighting the code, reveal-jekyll uses the [Reveal.js's preferred method](https://revealjs.com/code/) via [highlight.js](https://highlightjs.org/). To use all options it is possible to surround the code with HTML nodes `pre` and `code` using the class `language-*` adding optional `data` tags:
```html
# Objects:
math =
root: Math.sqrt
square: square
cube: (x) -> x * square x
```
### Slide Numbers
You can show slide numbers by selecting a format in the `_config.yml` file:
```coffee
slideNumber:
# Slide number formatting can be configured using these variables:
# "h.v": horizontal . vertical slide number (default)
# "h/v": horizontal / vertical slide number
# "c": flattened slide number
# "c/t": flattened slide number / total slides
# "none": don't show slide numbers
format: "c/t"
```
### Speaker Notes
reveal.js comes with a speaker notes plug-in which can be used to present per-slide notes in a separate browser window. The notes window also gives you a preview of the next upcoming slide so it may be helpful even if you haven't written any notes. Press the 's' key on your keyboard to open the notes window.
Notes are defined by appending an `` element to a slide as seen below. You can add the `markdown="1"` attribute to the aside element if you prefer writing notes using Markdown:
```html
---
layout: slide
---
Slide text...
Oh hey, these are some notes. They'll be hidden in your presentation, but you can see them if you open the speaker notes window (hit 's' on your keyboard).
```
When used locally, this feature requires that reveal.js [runs from a local web server](https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js#full-setup).

## Runtime Dependencies for Development
### Running Jekyll on Your Server
- Commander: Command-line interface constructor (Ruby)
- Colorator: Colorizes command line output (Ruby)
- Classifier: Generating related posts (Ruby)
- Directory Watcher: Auto-regeneration of sites (Ruby)

### Running reveal.js
Reveal.js doesn't _rely_ on any third party scripts to work but a few optional libraries are included by default. These libraries are loaded as dependencies in the order they appear, for example:
```javascript
Reveal.initialize({
dependencies: [
// Cross-browser shim that fully implements classList - //github.com/eligrey/classList.js/
{ src: 'lib/js/classList.js', condition: function() { return !document.body.classList; } },
// Zoom in and out with Alt+click
{ src: 'plugin/zoom-js/zoom.js', async: true },
// Speaker notes
{ src: 'plugin/notes/notes.js', async: true },
// Remote control your reveal.js presentation using a touch device
{ src: 'plugin/remotes/remotes.js', async: true },
// MathJax
{ src: 'plugin/math/math.js', async: true }
]
});
```
You can add your own extensions using the same syntax. The following properties are available for each dependency object:
- **src**: Path to the script to load
- **async**: [optional] Flags if the script should load after reveal.js has started, defaults to false
- **callback**: [optional] Function to execute when the script has loaded
- **condition**: [optional] Function which must return true for the script to be loaded
