Eric,
This is cool and very useful. Thanks.
This must be Zeitgeist-y because I was thinking about preparing
presentations in Emacs this week. Then I saw slidy, now this and s5.
Here's a further idea, to see what people think. Do you think it would be
possible to make a temporary org-mode display configuration to display
org-mode-written presentations (similar to epresent) without leaving org
mode, and leaving the displayed slides editable?
I once saw a video of someone doing a live presentation on something Emacs-y
and he did the presentation by typing headlines, lists and detail in a clean
Emacs buffer as he went along, similar to the way that some teachers might
write out subject headings or outlines on the chalkboard or overhead
projector as they lecture. I liked this a lot. As I see it, for less formal
presentation situations, it lets you annotate and record class discussions
discussions. It also lets the talk proceed in a less scripted manner: you
can for example re-work the problem on the fly according to the way the
group has defined it in the moment, not only according to the way you
planned it at home.
But doing it on the fly means that you don't have any of the advantages of
typical slide-style presentations: an outline to prompt you, important
figures, tables and visuals already there, links, detail, and the rest,
pre-assembled.
I've wondered whether org mode might not be a nice vehicle to combine these
things. For example, you create your script (just like in Eric's '
present.org'), but instead of showing in a custom display mode, you actually
tweak the display parameters of org-mode itself to look slide-like (no
stars, bigger fonts for titles, invisible /markup characters/, etc.), and
then display the slides by displaying each top level subtree in a narrowed
buffer one at a time. You add key bindings for moving back and forth, even
perhaps a temporary minor mode for single key frame navigation that you
could go in and out of (vi-like, I suppose).
This way you'd be in (a slightly modified) org mode all the time, and could
edit as you go, using all the structural features of org mode, and at the
end you'd have a neat record of the way the lecture actually went, that you
could distribute as you wish.
Can anyone think why this might not be doable?
Scot
