Hello, I’ve put together a quick starter kit for writing your talks in plain text with markdown formatting conventions. What’s included? 1) A first sample talk (see sample1.text) 2) A second sample talk (see sample2.text) incl. some (ruby) macros/helpers e.g. left, right, step, etc. ++ Use a (static) slide show builder / generator to build a web page that is an all-in-one-page handout and a live slide show all at once e.g. $ slideshow build sample1.text and than open sample1.html in your browser of choice. Cheers.
