Feature request - Markdown support #12

Closed amitkot closed 9 years ago

amitkot commented 11 years ago

Please add Markdown support to make writing slides easier

marcolago commented 11 years ago

Yes, I have to implement the markdown support.

While you wait you may take a look at http://slidecaptain.com to speed up the slides creation. It's a web app to quick build Flowtime based presentations with a WYSIWIG editor.

I'll let you know when I've added markdown support. See you soon.

amitkot commented 11 years ago

Great, thanks! I'm currently using reveal.js which allows maintaining separate markdown files that are dynamically parsed during the presentation.

marcolago commented 11 years ago

No problem ;)

Reveal.js is a very smart software with very smart features like the external markdown support and it was of great inspiration for me.

I have to figure out how it implement markdown in Flowtime due to a more complex HTML structure but it's just a matter of time.

Thanks for your request/reminder anyway, I appreciate every feedback.

Anybody interested in Markdown support might be interested in my cadeau project. It uses flowtime to produce presentations, but it adds an additional layer to deal with presentation and slide content management. It includes not only markdown support but also HTML with Swig template support. So by using cadeau, you get Markdown support and a bunch of other features on top of the flowtime presentation layer.

Flowtime looks impressive, but I'm also missing markdown support :( I'm doing all my notes in Markdown and I used revealjs few months ago to make a presentation (markdown + revealjs => presentation + PDF), but flowtime looks more appealing. However, seems nothing changed since May'13

marcolago commented 10 years ago

You are right. I've said that was just a matter of time but I've not yet completed the task. But in the last year I've also started to use markdown to take notes more and more so I think I will try to implement this features in the near future.

Well, I don't promise anything, but I'll try ;)

I'll let you know. Thanks for your patience.

@ShMcK has developed a tool to import a markdown file in Flowtime, you can check it at https://github.com/ShMcK/markdownFlowtime

Sorry for the late but I wasn't able to find a solution which was fine to me. Anyway, let me know if this tool could fits your needs.

There's no real need to implement markdown support. Flowtime slides are actually HTML right? There are a number markdown rendering web components. I've been using zero-md and it works great.

ShMcK commented 8 years ago

That sounds like a much better implementation. :+1:

copernico commented 4 years ago

In the meantime zero-md has disappeared :-(

copernico commented 4 years ago

Anyway, adding markdown support in flowtime itself would be a very poor design choice (the same mistake that remarkjs has made, IMHO). I agree with @tpluscode, what we need is a way to convert markdown to HTML+flowtime.

tpluscode commented 4 years ago

It's definitely still there: http://npm.im/zero-md

Thanks for posting the new link, the old one is dead.
