There are lots of Reveal.js tutorials, of course, including the excellent <a href=\"http:\/\/cestlaz.github.io\/posts\/using-emacs-11-reveal\/#.WIeRX7GZOuU\">video from Mike Zamansky<\/a> but what sets Nesbitt&rsquo;s tutorial apart is that he approaches the subject from the point of view of someone who doesn&rsquo;t have Org mode experience. Actually, he doesn&rsquo;t even assume the reader has Emacs experience but he offers no help there other than to recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.masteringemacs.org\/book\">Mickey&rsquo;s book<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p> If we stipulate that the reader has an elementary knowledge of Emacs, the tutorial is self contained. Nesbitt shows every step you need to take to put together a slide deck. My only complaint is that he doesn&rsquo;t provide a complete Org file for a simple two or three slide example. <\/p>\n<p> Everyone says they hate slide decks but everyone uses them. Given that if you gives talks you&rsquo;re going to need slides, Reveal.js is a nice way of producing them. An added advantage is that the slides don&rsquo;t require any special presentation software other than a browser. The other nice thing is that it&rsquo;s very easy to get started and if you follow Nesbitt&rsquo;s tutorial, there&rsquo;s virtually no learning curve. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scott Nesbitt has posted a very useful tutorial on making Reveal.js slides with Org mode.
