Generate s5 slideshow from a markdown file
As you may already know, I really enjoy Markdown meta-language (Btw this website
is written in markdown ;)).
I've been looking for a great solution to write slideshow documents in markdown for a
few months.
s5
s5 is a great mix of XHTML, CSS and Javascript that turns a html document into a
slideshow system.
As it is based on those standards, it is greatly portable and only require a webbrowser :)
mkd2s5
Although many tools already exist to generate s5 slideshow from markdown input,
I wrote my own tool that fit my needs and wishes better.
It is written in perl, and rely on one external markdown converter (you can use whichever please you best, markdown-discount by default).
Code blocks are (‘optionnaly’ soon) highlighted thnaks to vim, so that you keep your beloved good looking vim theme :)
The sourcecode is hosted on dev.zecrazytux.net
Usage
$ mkd2s5 -i inputfile.md > outputfile.html
