I tried reveal.js through org-mode because I love using org-mode as it makes everything so easy -- and it mostly was, except I still had to use a ton of html/css to make things look like I wanted to. Not a big deal, but I wouldn't use it for any thing other than relatively simple and small presentations. The benefit is that you get to work on a text editor (a benefit for me, anyway) but if you're a stickler about design/appearance, then it's not ideal. Unless you use beamer, of course. However, I have heard good things markdown+pandoc, so I might give that a try. It's not org-mode, but it might work better.
The best way to present Markdown is in pain text within an editor 😂 I'm a purist here: if you need to add anything to your documents that does not convey information, it's not "real" Markdown anymore. To me Markdown is 100 percent content. So it does not matter if you use a To-PDF-Parser, a complex Markdown-based information library, an HTML generator to serve a static website or, well, a presentation tool that uses Markdown. But if the first thing you see is paraser-specific code, it's just ... wrong to me.
Thabk u for this Will come back to it for sure Is it possible to generate paginated reports with a powerppiint output? Creating slides with table pagination????? MGT like their reports in beautiful powerpoint slides/saved in pdf format or pure powepiint format Appreciate ur detail reply i am using r language with rstudio thank u
occasionally, it is actually a good sign that projects don't have commits/issues or activity. the very best tools do one thing and one thing well. if the ecosystem/language doesn't force changes that is also a good thing. no updates/commits is usually a bad sign, but can also be a very good sign.
but javascript ecosystem is WHOA! my browser has 20 tabs right now on a 16gb ArchLinux VM with dedicated passthrough GPU ... guess how many GB of RAM. no apps other than discord, irc and 20 tabs. TWELVE FUCKING GB. 12!!!! for the browser.
Interesting, MDX presentation tools never really made sense to me, I'm not sure why anyone would switch from Google Slides, looks mainly like a lot of shiny object syndrome
The thing is that you are looking at these tools in a developer's way. Well, the intent is provide you a simple way to layout your thought first with markdown or doing it with chatGPT, then output it to PPT or Keynote for further polishing and storage. Don't make it too complicated.
for the reproducibility issue, i would get around that by building to a subdirectory, then adding that subdir into a separate branch, like a github pages branch. but yeh, evaluating all these open source tools for usability without getting your hands dirty is tough.
No markdown tool can yet do for code what Keynote can. Which is to animate stepwise changes of the code, inline, animating keywords being moved around. Keynote: Select slide → Animate button → Transitions → Magic Move → By Character. The ones that come closest are: RevealJS - www.RevealJS.com (try with the reveal-md library) CodeHike - www.CodeHike.org But they can (currently) only animate code line-by-line, and not within-line.
Apples and oranges? The use-cases of a standalone, manual, coupled, straightforward "PPT-designer" seems quite diffrent from a mult-channel, team-enabled, de-coupled framework with tools like pandoc, git and css-designs their principles and meta-tools.
he never said he was "comparing" those, he just was saying that markdown has some limitations for my use case, here's what these are, and that's why i will be using the alternate....

"pain text" sums it nicely
This project only has an initial commit, has never been updated, and that’s…

all rants should be prefaced like this.

6:54 From this point onwards, you incidentally describe the state of software development in general.

+1, everything he complains about md tools + what keynote lacks google slides does have

it's simple
pandoc -t beamer presentation.md -o presentation.pdf
If you are ascii guy
