Generator mdpress

You'll need to install Aditya Bhargava's mdpress for this work.

mdpress is a ruby gem that allows you to create rad presentations using impress.js in simple and readable markdown.

This generator allows you to scaffold up a presentation using Yeoman. In addition, it comes bundled with a JavaScript file that enforces [Ignite presentation guidelines](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignite_(event)) that will automatically advance the slides and put it into fullscreen mode for you.

Current Issues

• If you're using the ignite JS, you cannot open the presentation using the mdpress -r flag. It's because mdpress creates a temporary project and only copies select files to that temp directory. Instead compile the project (via mdpress filename or mdpress -a filename, both work) and then simply open filename/index.html directly in your browser. If you're not using the ignite JS, then go ahead and use the -r flag.

Getting started

• Make sure you have yo installed: npm install -g yo
• Install the generator locally: npm install generator-mdpress
• Run: yo mdpress

Use

• To run the presentation, on the command line enter mdpress filename.md -s themename open filename/index.html

Roadmap

• Address the issue with the ignite JS file not being pull across either via pull-request to mdpress or by creating a Grunt task to take care of it.
• Notwithstanding how the above is solved, create a Gruntfile to automate processes like watching, running, and even using SCSS for the CSS.
• Split ignite JS into subgenerator.
