Landslide 1.0.1

Landslide is a tool that takes your Markdown file(s) and generates a slideshow like this.

Markdown Formatting Instructions

 * To create a title slide, render a single h1 element (eg. # My Title)
 * Separate your slides with a horizontal rule (--- in markdown)
 * Your other slides should have a heading that renders to an h1 element
 * To highlight blocks of code, put !{lang} where {lang} is the pygment supported language identifier as the first indented line
 * See the included slides.md for an example

Rendering Instructions

 * Put your markdown content in a Markdown file, eg slides.md
 * Run ./landslide slides.md
 * Enjoy your newly generated presentation.html

As a proof of concept, you can even transform this annoying README into a fancy presentation:

./landslide README.md && open presentation.html

Or get it as a PDF document, at least if PrinceXML is installed and available on your system:

./landslide README.md -d readme.pdf
 open readme.pdf

Options

Several options are available using the command line:

./landslide --help
