Hovercraft-t2t

The merge of convenience and cool!

Hovercraft-t2t is a tool to make impress.js presentations from txt2tags. For a quick explanation, see the demo.

Features

  • Write your presentations in a text markup language. No slow, limiting GUI, no annoying HTML!
  • Pan, rotate and zoom in 3D, with automatic repositioning of slides!
  • A presenter console with notes and slide previews!
  • The slide show generated is in HTML, so you only need a web browser to show it.
  • Easy sharing, as it can be put up on a website for anyone to see!

Limitations

  • presentations can only use moving slides. No "dissolve" effect yet.
  • can't display bullets in lists one by one, like in traditional presentations.
  • unlike reveal.js, doesn't seem to display well on smartphones or tablets.

Installation

Hovercraft requires Python 3.2 or later, and can be installed like any Python package. Txt2tags requires Python 2.6

The easiest way is to install pip, and then run:

pip install hovercraft

Hovercraft is untested on Windows, but there is no reason it shouldn't work, at least in theory.
