Overview ¶
The present file format
Present files have the following format. The first non-blank non-comment line is the title, so the header looks like
Title of document Subtitle of document 15:04 2 Jan 2006 Tags: foo, bar, baz <blank line> Author Name Job title, Company joe@example.com http://url/ @twitter_name
The subtitle, date, and tags lines are optional.
The date line may be written without a time:
2 Jan 2006
In this case, the time will be interpreted as 10am UTC on that date.
The tags line is a comma-separated list of tags that may be used to categorize the document.
The author section may contain a mixture of text, twitter names, and links. For slide presentations, only the plain text lines will be displayed on the first slide.
Multiple presenters may be specified, separated by a blank line.
After that come slides/sections, each after a blank line:
Title of slide or section (must have asterisk)
Some Text
** Subsection
bullets
more bullets
a bullet with
*** Sub-subsection
Some More text
Preformatted text is indented (however you like)
Further Text, including invocations like:
.code x.go /^func main/,/^}/ .play y.go .image image.jpg .background image.jpg .iframe http://foo .link http://foo label .html file.html .caption _Gopher_ by [[http://www.reneefrench.com][Renée French]]
Again, more text
Blank lines are OK (not mandatory) after the title and after the text. Text, bullets, and .code etc. are all optional; title is not.
Lines starting with # in column 1 are commentary.
Fonts:
Within the input for plain text or lists, text bracketed by font markers will be presented in italic, bold, or program font. Marker characters are _ (italic), * (bold) and ` (program font). Unmatched markers appear as plain text. Within marked text, a single marker character becomes a space and a doubled single marker quotes the marker character.
_italic_ *bold* `program` _this_is_all_italic_ _Why_use_scoped__ptr_? Use plain ***ptr* instead.
Inline links:
Links can be included in any text with the form [url[label]], or [url] to use the URL itself as the label.
Functions:
A number of template functions are available through invocations in the input text. Each such invocation contains a period as the first character on the line, followed immediately by the name of the function, followed by any arguments. A typical invocation might be
.play demo.go /^func show/,/^}/
(except that the ".play" must be at the beginning of the line and not be indented like this.)
Here follows a description of the functions:
code:
Injects program source into the output by extracting code from files and injecting them as HTML-escaped <pre> blocks. The argument is a file name followed by an optional address that specifies what section of the file to display. The address syntax is similar in its simplest form to that of ed, but comes from sam and is more general. See
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sys/doc/sam/sam.html Table II
for full details. The displayed block is always rounded out to a full line at both ends.
If no pattern is present, the entire file is displayed.
Any line in the program that ends with the four characters
OMIT
is deleted from the source before inclusion, making it easy to write things like
.code test.go /START OMIT/,/END OMIT/
to find snippets like this
tedious_code = boring_function() // START OMIT interesting_code = fascinating_function() // END OMIT
and see only this:
interesting_code = fascinating_function()
Also, inside the displayed text a line that ends
// HL
will be highlighted in the display; the 'h' key in the browser will toggle extra emphasis of any highlighted lines. A highlighting mark may have a suffix word, such as
// HLxxx
Such highlights are enabled only if the code invocation ends with "HL" followed by the word:
.code test.go /^type Foo/,/^}/ HLxxx
The .code function may take one or more flags immediately preceding the filename. This command shows test.go in an editable text area:
.code -edit test.go
This command shows test.go with line numbers:
.code -numbers test.go
play:
The function "play" is the same as "code" but puts a button on the displayed source so the program can be run from the browser. Although only the selected text is shown, all the source is included in the HTML output so it can be presented to the compiler.
link:
Create a hyperlink. The syntax is 1 or 2 space-separated arguments. The first argument is always the HTTP URL. If there is a second argument, it is the text label to display for this link.
.link http://golang.org golang.org
image:
The template uses the function "image" to inject picture files.
The syntax is simple: 1 or 3 space-separated arguments. The first argument is always the file name. If there are more arguments, they are the height and width; both must be present, or substituted with an underscore. Replacing a dimension argument with the underscore parameter preserves the aspect ratio of the image when scaling.
.image images/betsy.jpg 100 200 .image images/janet.jpg _ 300
video:
The template uses the function "video" to inject video files.
The syntax is simple: 2 or 4 space-separated arguments. The first argument is always the file name. The second argument is always the file content-type. If there are more arguments, they are the height and width; both must be present, or substituted with an underscore. Replacing a dimension argument with the underscore parameter preserves the aspect ratio of the video when scaling.
.video videos/evangeline.mp4 video/mp4 400 600 .video videos/mabel.ogg video/ogg 500 _
background:
The template uses the function "background" to set the background image for a slide. The only argument is the file name of the image.
.background images/susan.jpg
caption:
The template uses the function "caption" to inject figure captions.
The text after ".caption" is embedded in a figcaption element after processing styling and links as in standard text lines.
.caption _Gopher_ by [[http://www.reneefrench.com][Renée French]]
iframe:
The function "iframe" injects iframes (pages inside pages). Its syntax is the same as that of image.
html:
The function html includes the contents of the specified file as unescaped HTML. This is useful for including custom HTML elements that cannot be created using only the slide format. It is your responsibilty to make sure the included HTML is valid and safe.
.html file.html
Presenter notes:
Presenter notes may be enabled by appending the "-notes" flag when you run your "present" binary.
This will allow you to open a second window by pressing 'N' from your browser displaying your slides. The second window is completely synced with your main window, except that presenter notes are only visible on the second window.
Lines that begin with ": " are treated as presenter notes.
Title of slide
Some Text
: Presenter notes (first paragraph) : Presenter notes (subsequent paragraph(s))
Notes may appear anywhere within the slide text. For example:
Title of slide
: Presenter notes (first paragraph)
Some Text
: Presenter notes (subsequent paragraph(s))
This has the same result as the example above.
