mdpress

This project is looking for a new maintainer! If you are interested, please send me a message. In the meantime, I will continue accepting merge requests but I won't be fixing bugs.

This is a tool that converts markdown files to presentations using impress.js.

Example

This presentation was created from this markdown file.

This presentation was created from the same markdown file and a different stylesheet using mdpress -s [stylesheet name].

Advantages

dead simple, works with any markdown file
comes with a beautiful default stylesheet + more styles (more styles TBD) ... no need to write your own
...but you can write your own easily if you want!
comes with prettify integrated, does code highlighting out of the box
has an auto-update mode; update your markdown file and mdpress will update your presentation automatically
quick install as a ruby gem
presentations are tiny and easy to distribute
presentations are easy to read as a plain text file

Install

gem install mdpress

Usage

  mdpress [url or filename.md]

This creates a directory named filename. Start the presentation by opening up index.html.

See full usage (it's easy!).
