The motivation behind creating this theme is pretty simple - I didn't want to have to manage one markdown file for every slide, which would add the overhead of coming up with a file name, setting a `weight` param in the front matter to keep it in order, etc, all for just a few lines of text. Instead, I like to organize groups of slides into a smaller number of markdown files, each representing a section of the presentation.
### Example
Using reveal-hugo, a three-slide presentation can be created with just one markdown file, like so:
```markdown
# English
Hello.
---
# Français
Salu.
---
# Espagñol
Hola.
```
The only requirement is to demarcate slides with `---` surrounded by newlines.
# Demo
Visit [https://reveal-hugo.netlify.com/](https://reveal-hugo.netlify.com/) to see an presentation created with this theme that shows more ways to use it.
To create the default presentation (the one that will live at the site root), the theme will look for all Hugo pages that have a type of `reveal`. That means they're in a `reveal` directory in the `content` folder OR the type is manually set to `reveal` in the front matter.
To create more than one presentation per repository, organize the content into sections. Section presentations will include content from each file in that section. Again, use the `weight` param to order the sections.
Fragments are a Reveal.js concept that lets you introduce content into each slide incrementally. Borrowing the concept from [hugo-theme-revealjs](https://github.com/RealOrangeOne/hugo-theme-revealjs), you can use a `fragment` shortcode to accomplish this in reveal-hugo in the same way.
```markdown
# Let's count to three...
{{% fragment %}} One {{% /fragment %}}
{{% fragment %}} Two {{% /fragment %}}
{{% fragment %}} Three {{% /fragment %}}
```
# Configuration
