# The textproc/slipshow port

## slipshow-0.4.1 – compiler from markdown to slipshow

## Description

    Slipshow is a tool specifically designed for technical presentations where
    traditional slides are not enough.

    In a slipshow presentation, the equivalent of a slide is called a slip. Each
    slip is like a slide, but with no bottom limit. That is, the content can be
    arbitrarily long! During the presentation, the camera will "scroll" down to
    reveal the hidden content, following a script given by the presenter!

    Here are the goals of slipshow, in no specific orders:

    - Lift restrictions from traditional slide-based presentation. In particular,
      make it closer to a blackboard presentation!

    - Easy to write and readable syntax: markdown with few extensions. No manual
      placement like in powerpoint. No crazy syntax like in latex.

    - Source of the presentation is plain text: much better for source control,
      sharing with people, using your favorite editor, readability, compatibility.

    - Open the possibility for a dynamic presentation. Watching scientific
      popularization video demonstrates how well-chosen animations can make a
      difficult subject more understandable.

    Slipshow compiles files written in an extension of markdown, to a standalone
    html file viewable offline in any web browser.
