       Spork - Slide Presentations (Only Really Kwiki)

SYNOPSIS

           mkdir my-slideshow
           cd my-slideshow
           spork -new

DESCRIPTION

       Spork lets you create HTML slideshow presentations easily. It comes with a sample
       slideshow. All you need is a text editor, a browser and a topic.

       Spork allows you create an entire slideshow by editing a single file called "Spork.slides"
       (by default). Each slide is created using a minimal markup language similar to the syntax
       used in Kwiki wikis.

MARKUP SYNTAX

       Spork markup is like Kwiki markup.

   Slides
       Slides are separated by lines consisting entirely of four or more dashes. Each slide
       consists of text and markup. This section describes each of the markup units.

       Any slide can be made to be multipart by putting a '+' at the beginning of a line where
       you want to break it. Each subpart will be cumulative to that point.

   Headings
       A heading is a line starting with 1-6 equals signs followed by a space followed by the
       heading text. The number of equals signs corresponds to the level of the heading.

           === A Level Three Heading

   Paragraphs
       Paragraphs are just paragraphs. They end with a blank line.

           This is my paragraph of something that I wanted to show
           you. This paragraph is now ending.

   Preformatted Text
       Preformatted text, like program source code for instance, is indicated by indenting it.

           My code:

               sub greet {
                   print "Hello there\n";
               }

   Pretty Print
       You can markup a section of your source code with various colors and highlights. In this
       example we make the word "greet" display green and the word "Hello" display red and
       underline the quoted string.

           .pretty.
               sub greet {
           #       GGGGG
                   print "Hello there\n";
           #             _______________
           #              RRRRR
               }
           .pretty.

   Unordered List
       Use asterisks to mark bullet points. The number of asterisks indicates the nesting level.

           * Point One
           ** Point One A
           ** Point One B
           * Point Two
           * Point Three

   Ordered List
       Same as unordered lists except use zeroes to mark bullet points. Ordered and unordered
       lists can be intermingled.

           0 Point One
           ** Point One A
           ** Point One B
           0 Point Two
           0 Point Three

   Bold Text
       Sourround one or more words with asterisks to make the text bold.

           This is *bold text* example.

   Italic Text
       Sourround one or more words with slashes to make the text italicized.

           This is /italic text/ example.

   Underlined Text
       Sourround one or more words with underscores to make the text underlined.

           This is _underlined text_ example.

   Teletyped Text
       Sourround one or more words with pipes to make the text appear in a fixed width font.

           This is |fixed width font| example.

   Images
       Each slide can display an image.

           {image: http://www.example.com/images/xyz123.png}

       This will download a copy of the image if it hasn't been downloaded yet. That way you can
       view your slides offline.

       If more than one image is encoded in a slide, Spork takes the last one. This is useful for
       a multipart slide where you want the image to change. Just put this image tag in the
       correct subpart.

   Files
       You can create a link to a local file. When clicked the file should appear in a new
       browser window.

           {file: mydir/myfile.txt}

       The "file_base" configuration setting will be prepended to relative paths.

CONFIGURATION

       Spork slideshows can be configured in three different ways. The first way is with the
       local "config.yaml" created by "spork -new". The second way is through a global
       configuration file called "~/.sporkrc/config.yaml". Any settings in the local file will
       override settings in the global file.

       The third way is to put YAML sections directly in your slides file. You can put a YAML
       section anywhere in the file that a slide would go, and you can have more than one
       section. In fact, you could change the configuration for each slide by putting a YAML
       section before each slide. Any settings in these sections will override the setting that
       came from anywhere else.

       See Spork::Config for more information.

CUSTOMIZATION

       You can easily extend and customize Spork by writing subclasses and putting them in the
       configuration or by fiddling with the template files. This version uses Template Toolkit
       templates by default.
