Set up

Make sure to install bundle which will ease the installation of jekyll:

gem install bundle
bundle install

Run the presentation ()it zill be one localhost:4000 using

bundle exec jekyll serve

Create your presentation

Raw Markdown

Take a look at the example, In index.html use the layout: raw and then you can create your slides directly in the file using markdown:

___: Makes a basement slide
---: Makes the next slide

One file slides example

Your index.html could look like:

---
layout: raw
---

## First slide
---
## Second slide
___
Second slide's basement
---
## Third slide

Using Jekyll capabilities

Take a look at the example slides and basements, In index.html use the layout: presentation. It will use the _slides and _basements folder to create the presentation.

Slide

Use the _slides folder to create a file per slide in markdown.


---
background: ...                 # Optional to put an image or a color as the background
video: "http://video-link.mp4"  # Optional to put a video as the background
transition: slide               # Optional change the transition type for this slide
---

Slide content in markdown

Don't forget to add the two ---.

To order the presentation you can do something like 01-First-slide-title.md, 02-Second-slide-title.md.

Basement slides

Basement slides can be put in the _basements folder.

The Basement slides will be accessible using the down arrow when on a particular slide. They are connected by the slide attribute which is the filename of the slide.

They are the sub sections of your presentation:


---
slide: slide-title
---
 
Content of the Basement slide in markdown

e.g:

For a slide called 02-slide.md
The basement of that slide 02-1-basement.md should have the attribute slide: 02-slide

Config

Configure Reveal.js in teh _config.yml:

reveal:
  transition: "slide" # none/fade/slide/convex/concave/zoom
  theme: "black" # beige/blood/league/moon/night/serif/simple/sky/solarized/white

You can set globally the transitions and theme of your presentation.

Export presentation

To export the presentation use ?print-pdf at the end of the url to be able to save the page as PDF:

<url>:<port>/<base url>/?print-pdf

Try it at .../Reveal-Jekyll/?print-pdf

Use as a gem

There is a Dockerfile available, check it out to see how to use the theme in a Docker. Basically you need 4 things to make it work as a gem:

The Gemfile with the reveal-jekyll gem: gem 'reveal-jekyll' (specify the version with , '~> 0.0.2')
The index.html which is the entrypoint of your jekyll site and presentation (with explained above configuration)
The _config.yml which defines your theme configuration.
The presentation, assets and content you want to display.

And that's it you'd be good to roll!
