9 years ago ioslides looks nice. hooray frontmatter. boo just one frontmatter. the --- to denote slides is good, and might be a nice shorthand in #38 if you just want to break up a document into cells. i think showoff is pretty wonderful. reveal would demand some more thought... its markdown dialect is not good, so i would likely not bring that across.
perhaps in addition to ---, allow for a few more config items as shortcuts to metadata.slideshow:
- subslide:
--- SUB - build fragment
--- FRAG - notes
--- NOTE
To get stable links in reveal, one would also need ids... --- #slide-i-want-to-link-to is not bad... but i am pretty sure it would take a patch to nbconvert to get that to happen.
i don't know if nbconvert uses the contentmanager, but a two-step of ipymd foo.md > nbconvert --to slides wouldn't be awful.
My most requested feature would be slide reuse, which heretofore has been avoided by ipython proper, but would make a lot of sense in a custom content manager. showoff does it with a dedicated manifest JSON, but keeping it in markdown would be unique. the big challenge is the dsl for picking particular slides (especially once fragments and subslides enter the picture).
