Writing a deck

A deck is a folder of slide files. Files are sorted by name.

Markdown slides

# My title

- a bullet
- another bullet

Python slides

A Python slide is a Textual Screen. It must expose a Slide class:

from textual.app import ComposeResult
from textual.screen import Screen
from textual.widgets import Button

class Slide(Screen):
    def compose(self) -> ComposeResult:
        yield Button("Hello")

The screen's widgets are styled by styles/default.tcss, which you can override in your deck if you want. All Textual functionality is available for rich, interactive slides.

Development

pip install -e ".[dev]"
python test.py
python -m build
