<h1>Use Restructured Text (ReST) to power your presentations</h1>
|
|
<p class="date">Published on Fri 25 June 2010</p>
|
|
<p>Wednesday, we give a presentation, with some friends, about the
|
|
CouchDB Database, to
|
|
<a class="reference external" href="http://www.toulibre.org">the Toulouse local LUG</a>. Thanks a lot
|
|
to all the presents for being there, it was a pleasure to talk
|
|
about this topic with you. Too bad the season is over now an I quit
|
|
Toulouse next year.</p>
|
|
<p>During our brainstorming about the topic, we
|
|
used some paper, and we wanted to make a presentation the simpler
|
|
way. First thing that come to my mind was using
|
|
<a class="reference external" href="http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html">restructured text</a>, so
|
|
I've wrote a simple file containing our different bullet points. In
|
|
fact, there is quite nothing to do then, to have a working
|
|
presentation.</p>
|
|
<p>So far, I've used
|
|
<a class="reference external" href="http://code.google.com/p/rst2pdf/">the rst2pdf program</a>, and a
|
|
simple template, to generate output. It's probably simple to have
|
|
similar results using latex + beamer, I'll try this next time, but
|
|
as I'm not familiar with latex syntax, restructured text was a
|
|
great option.</p>
|
|
<p>Here are
|
|
<a class="reference external" href="http://files.lolnet.org/alexis/rst-presentations/couchdb/couchdb.pdf">the final PDF output</a>,
|
|
<a class="reference external" href="http://files.lolnet.org/alexis/rst-presentations/couchdb/couchdb.rst">Rhe ReST source</a>,
|
|
<a class="reference external" href="http://files.lolnet.org/alexis/rst-presentations/slides.style">the theme used</a>,
|
|
and the command line to generate the PDF:</p>
|
|
<pre class="literal-block">
|
|
rst2pdf couchdb.rst -b1 -s ../slides.style
