API

Slideshow

Creation

To create a slideshow, you use the remark.create function as follows:

var slideshow = remark.create();

Optionally, you can pass in a number of configuration options:

var slideshow = remark.create({
  highlightLanguage: 'javascript',
  highlightStyle: 'monokai',
  ...
});

This should all go in a <script> block in the end of your <body> tag.

Check out the list of configuration options at the top of this page.

Navigation

After creating your slideshow, a number of functions are available for navigating:

// Navigate to the beginning and end of the slideshow
slideshow.gotoFirstSlide();
slideshow.gotoLastSlide();

// Navigate a single slide forward and backward
slideshow.gotoNextSlide();
slideshow.gotoPreviousSlide();

// Navigate to a specific slide, either by slide number or name
slideshow.gotoSlide(5);
slideshow.gotoSlide('agenda');

// Suspend/resume remarks process of keyboard and touch events for custom builds, etc...
slideshow.pause();
slideshow.resume();

Using Javascript to Create a Continuously Looping Slideshow

After creating your slideshow, a helper function like the one below can be used to automatically navigate through the slides:

var slideshow = remark.create();

// every 8 seconds (change to your desired interval), fire the helper function
setInterval(function () {carousel(slideshow)}, 8000);

	function carousel(varObject) {
		var slideCount = varObject.getSlideCount()-1;
		var currentSlide = varObject.getCurrentSlideIndex();
		// if the slideshow is on the last slide, go back to the first slide; if not, call gotoNextSlide();
		if (currentSlide == slideCount) {
			varObject.gotoFirstSlide();
		}
		else { varObject.gotoNextSlide(); }
	}

Events

Upon navigation (and later, other stuff as well), events are emitted from the slideshow:

slideshow.on('showSlide', function (slide) {
  // Slide is the slide being navigated to
});

slideshow.on('hideSlide', function (slide) {
  // Slide is the slide being navigated away from
});

Alternatives include beforeShowSlide, afterShowSlide, beforeHideSlide, and afterHideSlide which trigger before or after changes are actually made to the DOM. Please see below for more information on the slide parameter.

Slide

A slide has the following format:

{
  // Function returning the slides number (0..N-1, where N is the number of slides)
  getSlideIndex: function (),

  // The notes for the slide
  notes: <string>,

  // The slide properties extracted from the Markdown
  properties: {
    class: "center, middle",
    name: "agenda",
    ...
  },
  
  // The Markdown representing the slide
  content: <string>
}
<title>Title</title> <style> @import url(https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Yanone+Kaffeesatz); @import url(https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Droid+Serif:400,700,400italic); @import url(https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Ubuntu+Mono:400,700,400italic);

    font-weight: normal;
  }
  .remark-code, .remark-inline-code { font-family: 'Ubuntu Mono'; }
