# reveal.js A framework for easily creating beautiful presentations using HTML. [Check out the live demo](http://lab.hakim.se/reveal-js/). reveal.js comes with a broad range of features including [nested slides](https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js#markup), [markdown contents](https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js#markdown), [PDF export](https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js#pdf-export), [speaker notes](https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js#speaker-notes) and a [JavaScript API](https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js#api). It's best viewed in a browser with support for CSS 3D transforms but [fallbacks](https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js/wiki/Browser-Support) are available to make sure your presentation can still be viewed elsewhere. #### More reading in the Wiki: - [Changelog](https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js/wiki/Changelog): Up-to-date version history. - [Examples](https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js/wiki/Example-Presentations): Presentations created with reveal.js, add your own! - [Browser Support](https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js/wiki/Changelog): Explanation of browser support and fallbacks. ## Instructions ### Markup Markup heirarchy needs to be ``
`` where the ``
`` represents one slide and can be repeated indefinitely. If you place multiple ``
``'s inside of another ``
`` they will be shown as vertical slides. For example: ```html
Single Horizontal Slide
Vertical Slide 1
Vertical Slide 2
``` ### Markdown It's possible to write your slides using Markdown. To enable Markdown simply add the ```data-markdown``` attribute to your ```
``` elements and reveal.js will automatically load the JavaScript parser. This is based on [data-markdown](https://gist.github.com/1343518) from [Paul Irish](https://github.com/paulirish) which in turn uses [showdown](https://github.com/coreyti/showdown/). This is sensitive to indentation (avoid mixing tabs and spaces) and line breaks (avoid consecutive breaks). Updates to come. ```html
## Page title A paragraph with some text and a [link](http://hakim.se).
``` ### Configuration At the end of your page you need to initialize reveal by running the following code. Note that all config values are optional and will default as specified below. ```javascript Reveal.initialize({ // Display controls in the bottom right corner controls: true, // Display a presentation progress bar progress: true, // Push each slide change to the browser history history: false, // Enable keyboard shortcuts for navigation keyboard: true, // Loop the presentation loop: false, // Number of milliseconds between automatically proceeding to the // next slide, disabled when set to 0 autoSlide: 0, // Enable slide navigation via mouse wheel mouseWheel: true, // Apply a 3D roll to links on hover rollingLinks: true, // UI style theme: 'default', // default/neon/beige // Transition style transition: 'default' // default/cube/page/concave/linear(2d) }); ``` ### API The Reveal class provides a minimal JavaScript API for controlling navigation and reading state: ```javascript // Navigation Reveal.navigateTo( indexh, indexv ); Reveal.navigateLeft(); Reveal.navigateRight(); Reveal.navigateUp(); Reveal.navigateDown(); Reveal.navigatePrev(); Reveal.navigateNext(); Reveal.toggleOverview(); // Retrieves the previous and current slide elements Reveal.getPreviousSlide(); Reveal.getCurrentSlide(); Reveal.getIndices(); // { h: 0, v: 0 } } ``` ### States If you set ``data-state="somestate"`` on a slide ``
``, "somestate" will be applied as a class on the document element when that slide is opened. This allows you to apply broad style changes to the page based on the active slide. Furthermore you can also listen to these changes in state via JavaScript: ```javascript Reveal.addEventListener( 'somestate', function() { // TODO: Sprinkle magic }, false ); ``` ### Slide change event An 'slidechanged' event is fired each time the slide is changed (regardless of state). The event object holds the index values of the current slide as well as a reference to the previous and current slide HTML nodes. ```javascript Reveal.addEventListener( 'slidechanged', function( event ) { // event.previousSlide, event.currentSlide, event.indexh, event.indexv } ); ``` ### Fragment events When a slide fragment is either shown or hidden reveal.js will dispatch an event. ```javascript Reveal.addEventListener( 'fragmentshown', function( event ) { // event.fragment = the fragment DOM element } ); Reveal.addEventListener( 'fragmenthidden', function( event ) { // event.fragment = the fragment DOM element } ); ``` ## PDF Export Presentations can be exported to PDF via a special print stylesheet. This feature requires that you use [Google Chrome](http://google.com/chrome). Here's an example of an exported presentation that's been uploaded to SlideShare: http://www.slideshare.net/hakimel/revealjs-13872948. 1. Open the desired presentation with *print-pdf* anywhere in the query, for example: [lab.hakim.se/reveal-js?print-pdf](http://lab.hakim.se/reveal-js?print-pdf) 2. Open the in-browser print dialog (CMD+P). 3. Change the **Destination** setting to **Save as PDF**. 4. Change the **Layout** to **Landscape**. 5. Change the **Margins** to **None**. 6. Click **Save**. ![Chrome Print Settings](https://s3.amazonaws.com/hakim-static/reveal-js/pdf-print-settings.png) ## Speaker Notes If you're interested in using speaker notes, reveal.js comes with a Node server that allows you to deliver your presentation in one browser while viewing speaker notes in another. To include speaker notes in your presentation, simply add an `
