Hello,
If you’re interested in authoring your presentations/slide shows in
Textile, you might check out the Slide Show (S9) gem in Ruby. A simple
slide show looks like:
h1. What's Slide Show (S9)?
A Free Web Alternative to PowerPoint and KeyNote in Ruby
h1. Getting Started in 1-2-3 Easy Steps
* Step 1: Author your slides in plain text using a wiki-style
markup language
* Step 2: Generate your slide show using the @slideshow@ gem
* Step 3: Open up your slide show in your browser and hit the
space bar to flip through your slides
* That’s it. Showtime!
You can use heading 1 or heading 2 for slide breaks or use a
directive (that is, !SLIDE). Using text filters you can add comments,
macros and much more. Example:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%% Let’s go.
