.. This is an RST comment. The following directives, when used at the top of the file, set default values for all slides: This sets the transition style. Values are: 'dissolve', 'pan', or 'cut'. The optional argument of 'duration' sets the duration of the transition in seconds (0.4 seconds by default). The same syntax may be used within a slide to override the transition for that slide alone. .. transition:: dissolve :duration: 0.4 This disables display of the title. Each slide must still have a title, and it will be used by the presenter console, but it will not be displayed on the slide. The same syntax may be used within a slide to hide the title of that individual slide. .. hidetitle:: .. Slides are defined one at a time by starting a new top-level section: Presentty ========= .. container:: handout Content that is placed in a container called "handout" will not be displayed with the slides, but will be displayed on the presenter's console. Presentty is a console presentation system based where slides are authored in reStructuredText. Bullet Lists ============ It is able to display lists of items: * Pork * Eastern North Carolina * Lexington * Ribs * Brisket Progressive Display =================== Bullet lists may include a *progressive* display: .. container:: progressive * Red Leicester * Tilsit * Caerphilly Table ===== === === p !p === === T F F T === === Dissove Transition ================== Transitions may be "dissolve," where one slide cross-fades into the next... Pan Transition ============== .. transition:: pan ...or "pan," where the slides appear horizontally adjacent and move right to left... Cut Transition ============== .. transition:: cut ...or "cut," where they abruptly change from one to the next. Syntax Highligting ================== Pygments is used to provide syntax highlighting of code in almost any language: .. code:: python class UrwidTranslator(nodes.GenericNodeVisitor): def depart_Text(self, node): if self.stack and isinstance(self.stack[-1], 'string'): # a comment if self.attr: t = (self.attr[-1], node.astext()) else: t = node.astext() self.stack[-1].append(t) visit_literal_block = visit_textelement Cowsay ====== .. cowsay:: Presentty is a console-based presentation program where reStructuredText is used to author slides. | If cowsay is installed, it can easily | be used to display text. Figlet ====== .. container:: handout Cowsay and figlet are non-standard directives and will not appear if the RST file is rendered with a program other than presentty. If you want to ensure that the content appears in all forms, you may wish to run the respective commands manually and copy the output into a quoted block in the RST file. .. figlet:: FIGLET | If figlet is installed, it can be | used to provide large text. ANSI Art ======== .. hidetitle:: .. container:: handout Note that the ansi directive is specific to presentty, and so if an RST file that includes it is rendered with another program, included ANSI files will not appear. .. ansi:: ansi.ans Images ====== .. container:: handout The standard sphinx image directive can be used to include bitmap images (such as JPEG or PNG files) which will be automatically converted to ANSI art for display. This feauter requires that PIL or Pillow (Python Image Library) and jp2a be installed. .. image:: gg.jpg "Golden Gate Bridge" by Kevin Cole (CC-BY: https://flic.kr/p/7L2Rdu)
