Slideleech will extract sections of a Markdown file into new files that can be added to a reveal.js slideshow.
- Creates a full RevealJS presentation in your output directory. Read below for template customization.
- Delimit slides in you Markdown document with the opening
[item]: # (slide)and closing[item]: # (/slide)tags.
Review the CHANGELOG
Within a reveal.js slideshow, customizations can be performed via the index.html file. slideleech will automatically add your generated slides to the correct section using the following template markup. If you want to provide your own index.html, just make sure you replace the pertinent part with the snippet below.
<div class="reveal">
<div class="slides">
{{range. -}}
<section data-markdown="{{.Content}}" data-background-color="#{{.Color}}"></section>
{{end}}
</div>
</div>
Currently, the project is hosted on Bitbucket. As a result, the standard go get method won't work.
$ git clone ssh://git@bitbucket-eng-sjc1.cisco.com:7999/dll/slideleech.git
$ cd slideleech
$ go get gopkg.in/yaml.v2
$ go install
Create a .leech.yml file:

$ mkdir awesome-project
$ cd awesome-project
Create your Markdown file with the [item]: # (slide) and [item]: # (/slide). See example for a brief example.
