  • 0

I’d like to create slides for my presentation. My presentation will contain these: slide title, bullet points, code snippets (in a monospace font), some code lines highlighted as bold, Python code snippets (with syntax highlighting).

I need an application or tool which can generate such slides in HTML (or HTML5), so when I open the generated HTML in my web browser, and put the web browser to full screen mode, it will start the slideshow. I prefer writing my presentation as a .txt file with some markup, and then the tool should generate the HTML.

I know about the presentation feature Google Docs, but that doesn’t support Python syntax highlighting.

I also know about LaTeX and Beamer, but that would generate PDF instead of HTML (not a big problem), and doesn’t have Python syntax highlighting built in.

I’d prefer projecting my presentation using a vanilla Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. I don’t want to install any presentation software (such as bruce) on the projecting machine.

Is there an alternative?

    Try one of the following:

    1. Restructured text with S5

      http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/

      http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/slide-shows.html

      If you install docutils (snapshot is preferred), you will get rst2s5.py in the tools folder.
