On Slide Decks with JavaScript

As I have mentioned before, I strive to ensure that everything I work with is plain text.

I use the delightful remark Javascript library to convert Markdown into lovely slide decks.

Under the hood, most of my slide decks look like this:

<textarea id="source">

# Slide Title

## Slide Subtitle

- My keen and valuable insights
- As bulleted lists
- This is the way

???

My speaker notes.

# Another Slide Title

</textarea>
<!--<script src="https://gnab.github.io/remark/downloads/remark-latest.min.js">-->
<script src="/js/remark-latest.min.js" />
<script>
    var slideshow = remark.create();
</script>

Tip: Because the sides spend part of their life as HTML, I am able to style however I want using my mad CSS skills.

Because I'm doing an extra bit of JavaScript, I must exempt the /slides folder from being processed by Eleventy.js in .eleventy.js:

  eleventyConfig.addPassthroughCopy("slides");  // My slide decks
