## This is the description of the MAlley-slides-templates repo in
## DocOnce markup. Use the script README.sh to translate to Markdown
## for viewing on GitHub.
======= MAlley-slide-templates =======
This repository contains slide templates for Professor Michael Alley's famous
*assertion-evidence* slide design. This effective communication style
is described in the book "The Craft of Scientific Presentations: Critical Steps to Succeed and Critical Errors to Avoid": "http://www.amazon.com/Craft-Scientific-Presentations-Critical-Succeed/dp/1441982787/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1428766493&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=the+cract+of+scientific+presentations", by Michael Alley, Springer, 2nd edition, 2013.

===== How to download =====
=== Download everything ===
o Either dowload "zip file": "https://github.com/hplgit/MAlley-slide-templates/archive/master.zip" (see *Download ZIP* button to the right in this view), pack out the `master.zip` file, or
o clone/fork this Git repository:
!bc
git clone git@github.com:hplgit/MAlley-slide-templates.git
!ec
=== Download the format you want ===
* Binary slide files (PowerPoint, LibreOffice, Google Presenter): click *download for local viewing* and the file should download (if not, click on *folder*, then on the file, then on *Raw*, and if necessary, right-click to download the page), load the file into the software
* Keynote: click *download for local viewing*, pack out `master.zip` file, load `keynote/AE_presentation_template` into Keynote
* Pure (ascii) text file slides (reveal.js, deck.js, LaTeX Beamer, HTML, Remark, DocOnce): click on *source file*, click on *Raw*, and download that file
===== Brief description of formats =====
=== Interactive slide tools ===
Interactive slides tools offer a graphical user interface to design slides
in a visual way - you click and drag until you are satisfied. This is
user-friendly, and if slide elements are not perfectly postioned, it is easy
to graphically move them the way you want.
The support in interactive
tools for slides with much mathematics and computer code is modest.
There are LaTeX-based equation editors for PowerPoint and
LibreOffce, but they are tedious to use for large amounts of formulas.
Another (and often better)
solution is to convert each formula to an online picture using
URL: "http://www.codecogs.com/latex/eqneditor.php". Here you can copy
and paste existing formulas from LaTeX documents.
Computer code is not well supported in interactive tools.
Syntax highlighting is impossible and you are left with setting the
code in monospace font manually. Consequently, slides with much mathemtics and
computer code look much better in markup languages like LaTeX,
HTML, Markdown, or DocOnce.
Tools for interactive slide design include "Microsoft PowerPoint": "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_PowerPoint", Apple's "Keynote": "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keynote_(presentation_software)", "OpenLibre Impress": "https://www.libreoffice.org/discover/impress/", "OpenOffice Impress": "https://www.openoffice.org/product/impress.html", and
"Google Presenter": "http://computers.tutsplus.com/tutorials/getting-started-with-google-slides--cms-21359" (Google slides). The latter is very easy to
use and has recently become very popular because of its features
for online collaboration, though PowerPoint and Keynote
are technically more advanced tools than Google Presenter.

=== Markup-based slide tools ===
Slides can alternatively be designed using a markup language, e.g.,
"LaTeX": "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaTeX", "HTML": "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML", "Markdown": "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown", or "DocOnce": "http://hplgit.github.io/doconce/doc/web/index.html".
Instead of clicking on an italic button
to get italic text in an interactive slide tool, one writes instead plain text `<em>some text</em>` in HTML,
`\emph{some text}` in LaTeX, or
`*some text*` in Markdown and DocOnce. The whole slide presentation is a plain
text file with instructions (markup) and slide contents.
A main problem with markup languges is that you
have much less control of where slide elements appear on the slide compared
with the interactive, visual tools. However, markup languages have some
important advantages:
* excellent support for mathematics and computer code
* sometimes quicker writing (especially in Markdown and DocOnce)
* easy to generate slides from existing papers and books
* easy to change notation, terms, etc. in a large set of slides
For at least two decades, "LaTeX Beamer":
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beamer_(LaTeX)" has been a dominating
tool for writing slides with mathematics and computer code. Recently,
LaTeX Beamer has experienced considerable competition from
"reveal.js": "http://lab.hakim.se/reveal-js/#/" and to some extent
"deck.js": "http://imakewebthings.com/deck.js/". Both these tools are
based on modern HTML5 and CSS technology and combine in some way the
strength for mathematics and computer code from LaTeX Beamer with the
visual appearance of PowerPoint, Keynote, OpenOffice/LibreOffice,
and Google Presenter.
Especially in more mathematically or computer science oriented
communities, there is significant use of LaTeX Beamer and reveal.js,
with the Markdown-based "Remark": "http://remarkjs.com/#1" tool as a
new interesting alternative coming up (Markdown-based tools are
gaining increasing popularity in general).
__Remark about markup-based slides in this repository.__
The HTML, reveal.js, deck.js, Remark, and LaTeX Beamer slides in this
repository were all *automatically generated* from "slides in DocOnce
format":
"https://github.com/hplgit/MAlley-slide-templates/blob/master/doconce/AE_presentation_template.do.txt". So
to write LaTeX Beamer slides, one can either write directly in LaTeX
markup, or one can write in "DocOnce markup":
"http://hplgit.github.io/doconce/doc/pub/slides/index.html" and
automatically translate to LaTeX Beamer. The advantage of writing in
DocOnce is that one can easily generate reveal.js, deck.js, Remark,
and plain HTML slides as well. That feature gives you the possibility to
use Beamer for live presentations, but publish the talk online in (e.g.)
reveal.js format.
