Slipshow is all about scrolling presentations
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!
Slipshow improves on traditional slide-based presentations in the following ways:
- Scroll on a slip instead of changing slides, making content flow continuously
- Record hand-drawings when preparing your talk, edit them, and have them replayed during the presentation
- Include and execute custom scripts by steps, to make your presentation clearer through e.g. animation or interaction.
Slipshow compiles files written in an extension of Markdown, to a standalone HTML file viewable offline in any web browser.
