# Goveal

|
|
|
|
Goveal is very small an very simple tool that reads Markdown from a given file, renders it into a HTML template and serves it as local HTTP server.
|
|
Right now Goveal uses Reveal.js 4.0.2 to create presentations and therefore also includes all features of Reveal.js 4.0.2.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
The easiest way to use `goveal` is to download a release, and run it from your `$PATH`.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
goveal serve ./slides.md
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
| Param | Description | Default value |
|
|
| ------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------- |
|
|
| `--host` | Hostname the binary is listening on | `localhost` |
|
|
| `--port` | Port the binary is listening on | `2233` |
|
|
| `--code-theme` | highlight.js theme to use | `monokai` |
|
|
| `--transition` | Transition effect to show between slides | `none` |
|
|
| `--navigationMode` | Navigation mode to use when using the cursor keys to navigate through slides | `default` |
|
|
| `--config` | Path to the config file see [config](#config) | `$HOME/goveal:./goveal` |
|
|
| `--horizontal-separator` | horizontal separator to split slides | `===` |
|
|
| `--vertical-separator` | vertical separator to split slides | `---` |
|
|
| `--theme` | reveal.js theme to use | `white` |
|
|
| `-h` / `--help` | shows help | |
|
|
|
|
## Config
|
|
|
|
Goveal supports multiple configuration mechanisms.
|
|
It tries to load a configuration file from `$HOME` or from `.` i.e. `$HOME/goveal.yaml` or `$HOME/goveal.yml` or `./goveal.yaml` and so on.
|
|
|
|
Most options that can be set via commandline flags can also be set via configuration file (actually all but the `--config` switch does not make sense in the configuration file, does it? :wink:).
|
|
It is more a convenience feature to be able to set a theme and so on and so forth for the presentation without having to pass it every time as parameter.
|
|
|
|
Furthermore goveal supports configuration hot reloading i.e. you can play around with different themes and the rendered theme will be changed whenever you hit the save button!
|
|
|
|
See also an example at [`./examples/goveal.yaml`](./examples/goveal.yaml).
|
|
|
|
### Custom CSS
|
|
|
|
To add custom CSS as theme overrides use a config file and add the `stylesheets` property.
|
|
It takes a list of relative (mandatory!) paths to CSS files that are included automatacally after the page was loaded so that they really overload everything added by Reveal and plugins.
|
|
|
|
the sample configuration file [`./examples/goveal.yaml`](./examples/goveal.yaml) also contains a sample how to add custom CSS.
