A framework for easily creating beautiful presentations using HTML. Check out the live demo.
reveal.js comes with a broad range of features including nested slides, markdown contents, PDF export, speaker notes and a JavaScript API. It's best viewed in a browser with support for CSS 3D transforms but fallbacks are available to make sure your presentation can still be viewed elsewhere.
Slides are written using HTML or markdown but there's also an online editor for those of you who prefer a more traditional user interface. Give it a try at www.rvl.io.
Markup heirarchy needs to be <div class="reveal"> <div class="slides"> <section>
where the <section>
represents one slide and can be repeated indefinitely. If you place multiple <section>
's inside of another <section>
they will be shown as vertical slides. The first of the vertical slides is the "root" of the others (at the top), and it will be included in the horizontal sequence. For example:
<div class="reveal">
<div class="slides">
<section>Single Horizontal Slide</section>
<section>
<section>Vertical Slide 1</section>
<section>Vertical Slide 2</section>
</section>
</div>
</div>
It's possible to write your slides using Markdown. To enable Markdown, add the data-markdown
attribute to your <section>
elements and wrap the contents in a <script type="text/template">
like the example below.
This is based on data-markdown from Paul Irish which in turn uses showdown. This is sensitive to indentation (avoid mixing tabs and spaces) and line breaks (avoid consecutive breaks).
<section data-markdown>
<script type="text/template">
## Page title
A paragraph with some text and a [link](http://hakim.se).
</script>
</section>
At the end of your page you need to initialize reveal by running the following code. Note that all config values are optional and will default as specified below.
Reveal.initialize({
// Display controls in the bottom right corner
controls: true,
// Display a presentation progress bar
progress: true,
// Push each slide change to the browser history
history: false,
// Enable keyboard shortcuts for navigation
keyboard: true,
// Enable the slide overview mode
overview: true,
// Loop the presentation
loop: false,
// Number of milliseconds between automatically proceeding to the
// next slide, disabled when set to 0, this value can be overwritten
// by using a data-autoslide attribute on your slides
autoSlide: 0,
// Enable slide navigation via mouse wheel
mouseWheel: true,
// Apply a 3D roll to links on hover
rollingLinks: true,
// Transition style
transition: 'default' // default/cube/page/concave/zoom/linear/none
});
Reveal.js doesn't rely on any third party scripts to work but a few optional libraries are included by default. These libraries are loaded as dependencies in the order they appear, for example:
Reveal.initialize({
dependencies: [
// Syntax highlight for <code> elements
{ src: 'lib/js/highlight.js', async: true, callback: function() { window.hljs.initHighlightingOnLoad(); } },
// Cross-browser shim that fully implements classList - https://github.com/eligrey/classList.js/
{ src: 'lib/js/classList.js', condition: function() { return !document.body.classList; } }
// Interpret Markdown in <section> elements
{ src: 'lib/js/data-markdown.js', condition: function() { return !!document.querySelector( '[data-markdown]' ); } },
{ src: 'lib/js/showdown.js', condition: function() { return !!document.querySelector( '[data-markdown]' ); } },
// Zoom in and out with Alt+click
{ src: 'plugin/zoom-js/zoom.js', async: true, condition: function() { return !!document.body.classList; } },
// Speaker notes
{ src: 'plugin/notes/notes.js', async: true, condition: function() { return !!document.body.classList; } }
]
});
You can add your own extensions using the same syntax. The following properties are available for each dependency object:
The Reveal class provides a minimal JavaScript API for controlling navigation and reading state:
// Navigation
Reveal.slide( indexh, indexv );
Reveal.left();
Reveal.right();
Reveal.up();
Reveal.down();
Reveal.prev();
Reveal.next();
Reveal.prevFragment();
Reveal.nextFragment();
Reveal.toggleOverview();
// Retrieves the previous and current slide elements
Reveal.getPreviousSlide();
Reveal.getCurrentSlide();
Reveal.getIndices(); // { h: 0, v: 0 } }
If you set data-state="somestate"
on a slide <section>
, "somestate" will be applied as a class on the document element when that slide is opened. This allows you to apply broad style changes to the page based on the active slide.
Furthermore you can also listen to these changes in state via JavaScript:
Reveal.addEventListener( 'somestate', function() {
// TODO: Sprinkle magic
}, false );
The 'ready' event is fired when reveal.js has loaded all (synchronous) dependencies and is ready to start navigating.
Reveal.addEventListener( 'ready', function( event ) {
// event.currentSlide, event.indexh, event.indexv
} );
An 'slidechanged' event is fired each time the slide is changed (regardless of state). The event object holds the index values of the current slide as well as a reference to the previous and current slide HTML nodes.
Reveal.addEventListener( 'slidechanged', function( event ) {
// event.previousSlide, event.currentSlide, event.indexh, event.indexv
} );
It's easy to link between slides. The first example below targets the index of another slide whereas the second targets a slide with an ID attribute (<section id="some-slide">
):
<a href="#/2/2">Link</a>
<a href="#/some-slide">Link</a>
Just press »F« on your keyboard to show your presentation in fullscreen mode. Press the »ESC« key to exit fullscreen mode.
Fragments are used to highlight individual elements on a slide. Every elmement with the class fragment
will be stepped through before moving on to the next slide. Here's an example: http://lab.hakim.se/reveal-js/#/16
The default fragment style is to start out invisible and fade in. This style can be changed by appending a different class to the fragment:
<section>
<p class="fragment grow">grow</p>
<p class="fragment shrink">shrink</p>
<p class="fragment roll-in">roll-in</p>
<p class="fragment fade-out">fade-out</p>
<p class="fragment highlight-red">highlight-red</p>
<p class="fragment highlight-green">highlight-green</p>
<p class="fragment highlight-blue">highlight-blue</p>
</section>
When a slide fragment is either shown or hidden reveal.js will dispatch an event.
Reveal.addEventListener( 'fragmentshown', function( event ) {
// event.fragment = the fragment DOM element
} );
Reveal.addEventListener( 'fragmenthidden', function( event ) {
// event.fragment = the fragment DOM element
} );
Presentations can be exported to PDF via a special print stylesheet. This feature requires that you use Google Chrome. Here's an example of an exported presentation that's been uploaded to SlideShare: http://www.slideshare.net/hakimel/revealjs-13872948.
reveal.js comes with a speaker notes plugin which can be used to present per-slide notes in a separate browser window. The notes window also gives you a preview of the next upcoming slide so it may be helpful even if you haven't written any notes. Append ?notes
to presentation URL or press the 's' key on your keyboard to open the notes window.
Notes are written using the following markup structure:
<section>
<h2>Some Slide</h2>
<aside class="notes">
Oh hey, these are some notes. They'll be hidden in your presentation, but you can see them if you open the speaker notes window (hit 's' on your keyboard).
</aside>
</section>
