rst2html5slides generates a slideshow from a reStructuredText file.
Project description
rst2html5slides
rst2html5slides extends rst2html5 to translate a reStructuredText file into a web presentation.
Rationale
Presentations based on web frameworks such as impress.js, jmpress.js and deck.js are great alternatives to traditional software packages:
HTML, CSS and javascript files are plain text files and thus they are friendly to version control systems, making easy to follow and visualize their changes between revisions;
There is a separation between content and presentation design
They have new and great visual effects such as slide transitions and positional effects
A web presentation is portable. It runs on any modern browser
On the other hand, creating presentations directly in HTML is painful. A better approach is to use another markup language that is easier to read and write, and then translate the text to HTML.
I could have listed or cooked up a few reasons to justify reStructuredText as the best choice. The truth is that the best markup language is the one you already know. So, if you also use reStructuredText in other projects or contexts, then rst2html5slides is perfect for you to create your presentations.
Features
CSS can be extended or overwritten by adding new stylesheets;
Slides can be positioned manually or automatically through pre-defined functions (linear, grid and grid-rotate);
Installation
pip install rst2html5slidesBasic Usage
$ rst2html5slides [OPTIONS] SOURCE [DESTINATION]If no destination is given, then the presentation is written to the stdout. Else, the presentation and all related files (images, CSS, scripts etc.) are written into the specified path.
Options:

Specify the name of the slide distribution function. Options are “linear”, “grid” or “grid-rotate”. An additional parameter can be specified along with the name such as in “grid_rotate 3”.
- --increment=<increment>
