Use of reveal.js for presentations
See also: teaching, teaching-mathematics, teaching-digital-technologies
The plan is to use reveal.js for teaching/presentations because
- It fits more with the whole digital-humanism/avoidance of Platform decay - personally and as walking the talk
- For teaching, I'll be doing a lot of mathematics and code, which the MickeySoft tools don't do well
Strategies#
Use of pandoc deprecated#
To generate HTML files with reval.js presentations but which can be served via GH-pages
- All reveal.js configuration options can be set through variables (-V)
- YAML meta data block can also be used
See
-
Include use of the CDN - https://unpkg.com/reveal.js/
-
reveal-hugo - possible alternative to pandoc
Deprecated pandoc's conversion lost some of the important features. Too annoying. Hence going full HTML
