Presentation build system

Description

This is what I use to build my slides. I have the following goals:

• Easy to write
• Easy to change/copy-paste
• Automated formatting of images
• Automated rebuild when something changes
• Ability to write the text of the talk in the presentation
• Ability to extract the text of the presentation as a blog post
• Ability to easily track changes with a version control system

For example on how to use, see example.pandoc.

Usage

• Write your presentation as something.pandoc
• Put your .png images in img/
• Run make
• Lather, rinse, repeat

Requirements

• Make
• php (for building the text)
• imagemagick (image manipulation)
• pandoc (duh)
• texlive-lang-cyrillic if you want to write in Cyrillic
• git (if you want to put this in a version control system, which I highly recommend)

This all was tested/developed on Debian.

Missing features

• Multiple images on one page
  • This is not supported by pandoc in anyway, you'll need LaTeX for that
• Support for other images than png
  • Too lazy to add it
