Presentation mode

Note

This is a technical demo, included by default to make it easy to use. It may be removed in a future release.

Using minipres, any web page can be turned into a presentation. As usual, there is nothing very specific to sphinx-lesson about this, but currently minipres is only tested on sphinx_rtd_theme, but theoretically can work on others.

Using minipres, you only have to write one page: the material your students read. Then, you hide the unnecessary elements (table of contents), focus on one section, and provide a quick way to jump between sections. Then you can get the focused attention of a presentation and the readability of a single page.

How it works:

  • Add ?minipres to the URL of any page, and it goes into presentation mode.

  • Add ?plain to the URL of any page to go to plain mode.

In presentation mode:

  • The sidebars are removed (this is the only thing that happens in plain mode).

  • Extra space is added between each section (HTML headings), so that you focus on one section at a time

  • The left/right arrow keys scroll between sections.
