sphinx-deck

A Sphinx extension for converting reStructuredText and Markdown to k1LoW/deck-compatible Markdown format.

Overview

sphinx-deck enables you to write presentations in familiar reStructuredText (reST) or Markdown syntax and convert them to deck-compatible Markdown for Google Slides generation.

Features

• Support for both reST and Markdown source files
• Convert to deck-compatible Markdown with proper slide separators (---)
• Automatic conversion of section headers to deck format (currently h2 and h3 for titles)

Installation

$ pip install sphinx-deck

For Markdown support, also install:

$ pip install "myst-parser[linkify]"

Quick Start

Basic Setup

Add to your conf.py:

extensions = [
    "sphinx_deck",
]

With Markdown Support

extensions = [
    "myst_parser",
    "sphinx_deck",
]

myst_enable_extensions = [
    "linkify",
]
myst_linkify_fuzzy_links = False

Usage

For detailed examples, please see the example/ directory in this repository.

1. Write your presentation in reST:

Title
=====

First section
-------------

Content 1
^^^^^^^^^

Content 2
^^^^^^^^^

2. Or write in Markdown:

# Title

## First section

### Content 1

### Content 2

3. Build the deck-compatible Markdown:

$ sphinx-build -M markdown source build

This generates deck-compatible Markdown in the build directory:

# Title

---

## First section

---

## Content 1

---

## Content 2

4. Use k1LoW/deck to create Google Slides:

$ deck new build/markdown/index.md
$ deck apply build/markdown/index.md
