Slides in your terminal — personal fork of maaslalani/slides with real LaTeX, real images (including animated GIFs), bibliography/citations, progressive reveal, and plots from executed code, built for academic and scientific presentations.
- LaTeX math —
$...$inline math renders as Unicode text;$$...$$block math renders as a real image via tectonic + Ghostscript. - Real images —
shows the actual image via the Kitty Graphics Protocol, caption included, animated GIFs playing back for real. Falls back to plain alt text without Kitty graphics support. - Bibliography & citations —
[@key]citations are numbered by order of first appearance against a.bibfile, with a References slide generated automatically. Enabled viabibliographyin the frontmatter. - Progressive reveal —
<!-- pause -->splits a slide into steps revealed one keypress at a time. - Plots from executed code — any image a
ctrl+ecode block saves is shown below its output. Julia specifically gets ANSI-colored UnicodePlots and a headless GR/Plots.jl/CairoMakie backend for free. - Layout/margin/sizing tuned for presenting on a projector.
Everything else — navigation, search, pre-processing, SSH — works exactly
like upstream slides.
This fork isn't published to any package manager. Build it from source:
git clone <this repo>
cd slides
go install
Or, with the Nix flake in this repo (also brings in tectonic,
ghostscript, and julia-bin):
nix build # ./result/bin/slides
nix develop # dev shell with everything on PATH
slides presentation.md
Space/j/k/arrows to move between slides, / to search, ctrl+e to
run a code block, y to yank one, gg/G to jump to the first/last
slide. slides also reads from stdin and reloads live on file changes.
Frontmatter (theme, author, date, paging, bibliography) is
optional — see examples/basics/metadata.md.
See examples/ for every feature above in a working presentation: LaTeX, images, GIFs, bibliography, reveal, Julia plots, and everything inherited from upstream.
This is a personal fork of maaslalani/slides,
which was itself heavily inspired by lookatme.
