* Notes

The project /org-re-reveal/ is a
[[https://github.com/lechten/org-reveal][fork of org-reveal]].
It provides an export back-end for HTML presentations with
[[https://revealjs.com/][reveal.js]] from
[[https://orgmode.org/][Org mode]] source files.

Being a fork means that /org-re-reveal/ and /org-reveal/ are two
independent projects from which you need to choose one.  I created
/org-re-reveal/ during a period when /org-reveal/ was unmaintained,
in particular to add support for the audio-slideshow plugin of
[[https://github.com/rajgoel/reveal.js-plugins][reveal.js-plugins]].
Nowadays, both projects have diverged considerably.  If someone could
suggest how to merge the forks, please go ahead!

#+REVEAL: split

Note that this Readme is written in the lightweight markup language
Org mode, for which browser support on GitLab is limited.  In
particular, internal hyperlinks won’t work.  I suggest to either open
[[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/blob/main/Readme.org][the
Org source file of this Readme]]
in Emacs or to view the generated
[[https://oer.gitlab.io/org-re-reveal/Readme.html][Readme for
org-re-reveal as /reveal.js/ presentation]] in your browser.

Generated /reveal.js/ presentations for test cases are available as well:
[[https://oer.gitlab.io/org-re-reveal/]]

** Emacs-reveal
If you are interested in /org-re-reveal/, I suggest that you take
a look at [[https://gitlab.com/oer/emacs-reveal][emacs-reveal]], which
embeds /org-re-reveal/, /reveal.js/, and useful
plugins as submodules, combined with suitable Emacs configuration.
A [[https://gitlab.com/oer/emacs-reveal-howto][Howto for the generation of reveal.js presentations (slides with audio) with emacs-reveal]]
exists as well.

I use /emacs-reveal/ to generate Open Educational Resources (OER).
In particular,
macros coming with /emacs-reveal/ simplify license attribution for
embedded figures considerably:

Originally, /emacs-reveal/ was created to enhance /org-reveal/, and it
contained the code of what is now maintained separately as
/org-re-reveal-ref/ and /oer-reveal/.  Those packages were separated
to make as much of /emacs-reveal/ available on MELPA as possible.
Whether anyone wants to use those package in isolation, is up to them.

** Changelog
   See file [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/tree/main/CHANGELOG.org][CHANGELOG]]
   for changes of /org-re-reveal/ compared to /org-reveal/ and onward

   Note that /org-re-reveal/ 3.0.0 supports backwards-incompatible
   changes introduced with /reveal.js/ 4.0.  By default,
   /org-re-reveal/ targets /reveal.js/ 3.x.  If you want support for
   /reveal.js/ 4.x or later versions, see [[#revealjs-version][below how to configure the version]].

** Side note: Customization of variables
   - GNU Emacs can be customized in various ways, and /org-re-reveal/
     is no exception in that regard.
     - This Readme frequently suggests “to customize” some variables.
   - You may want to read the
     [[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Customization.html][Emacs manual entry on customization]].
   - As shortcut
     - Type ~C-h v~ (which means press the ~Ctrl~ key and ~h~
       simultaneously, then ~v~).  You are asked for a variable name.
       Enter it, e.g., ~org-re-reveal-revealjs-version~.  You wind up in a
       help buffer, showing the current value and a “customize” link.
       Enter/press the link, leading to a customization buffer, where
       you can change the value and “Apply” (or “Apply and
       Save”) it.

* Reveal.js and org-re-reveal

  - [[https://revealjs.com/][Reveal.js]] is a tool for creating
    good-looking HTML presentations, authored by
    [[https://hakim.se/][Hakim El Hattab]].
  - Org-re-reveal exports your [[https://orgmode.org/][Org mode]]
    documents to reveal.js presentations.

    With org-re-reveal, you can create beautiful presentations with 3D
    effects from simple but powerful Org contents.

** Local presentations and CORS security
   :PROPERTIES:
   :CUSTOM_ID: cors-settings
   :END:
   - Generated presentations can be opened and viewed in browsers
     (without the need for a web server)
     - Some features may be prohibited based on [[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS/Errors/CORSRequestNotHttp][cross-origin request security settings]]
       - E.g., with audio, the browser console of Firefox may show:
         ~Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at file:///... (Reason: CORS request not http)~
         - [[https://kb.mozillazine.org/Security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy][Workaround]]
       - Maybe use option ~--allow-file-access-from-files~ with chromium
     - Maybe serve presentations with [[#local-web-server][local web server]]

** Local presentations with web server
   :PROPERTIES:
   :CUSTOM_ID: local-web-server
   :END:
   - As alternative to overriding [[#cors-settings][CORS settings]],
     start a web server for generated presentations on ~localhost~,
     e.g.:
     - MELPA package
       [[https://melpa.org/#/simple-httpd][simple-httpd]] with
       ~M-x httpd-serve-directory~ or
     - [[https://revealjs.com/installation/#full-setup][full setup of reveal.js]]
   - Suggestion
     - Embed resources (e.g., reveal.js, CSS, plugins) with relative
       paths into presentation (instead of absolute ~file~ paths)
     - Then, presentation works not only locally but also on public
       web server
       - E.g., with free and open license as OER at [[https://oer.gitlab.io/]]

* Requirements and Installation

  - Reveal.js
  - GNU Emacs, version 24.4 or later
  - Org mode
  - Org-re-reveal
  - Htmlize.el or highlight.js (plugin of reveal.js)
    - For source code highlighting, which is explained below
      - Depending on your version of Org mode, htmlize.el may be
        necessary even if you want to use highlight.js

** Install reveal.js

   *Note:* This is only necessary if you do not use [[https://gitlab.com/oer/emacs-reveal][emacs-reveal]],
   which installs and configures reveal.js with several of its plugins.

   Install reveal.js as described in its
   [[https://revealjs.com/installation/][installation instructions]]
   (the “Basic Setup” is sufficient to use org-re-reveal, but see
   [[#cors-settings]]).

   As described under [[#revealjs-location][Set the location of reveal.js]]
   you could also use reveal.js from a remote location (a CDN),
   avoiding a local installation; the reveal.js documentation does not
   mention this alternative, though.
   ([[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/blob/main/test-cases/test-remote-plugin.org][Sample file]])

** Install org-re-reveal

   You can install org-re-reveal as MELPA package or from GitLab (both
   options are explained subsequently).

   In any case, this package defines the Org export back-end
   ~re-reveal~.  As usual for export back-ends, you can either
   customize ~org-export-backends~ to include ~re-reveal~ or add the
   following to your ~.emacs~ file.
   #+BEGIN_SRC lisp
   (require 'org-re-reveal)
   #+END_SRC

   *Note*: It is suggested to use a recent version of Org mode with
   org-re-reveal.  [[https://orgmode.org/][Installation of Org mode.]]
   ([[https://gitlab.com/oer/emacs-reveal][Emacs-reveal]] also
   includes Org mode.)

*** Install org-re-reveal from MELPA

    Package org-re-reveal is available on MELPA.  Use of MELPA requires
    some setup code in your ~.emacs~ file.
    See [[https://melpa.org/#/getting-started][here how to get started with MELPA]].

    After installation of org-re-reveal, you still need to activate it
    as suggested on the previous slide.

*** Install org-re-reveal from GitLab

    You can download org-re-reveal as archive from GitLab
    ([[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/archive/main/org-re-reveal-main.zip][zip archive]]
    and several ~tar~ variants; note the download icon on the
    [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal][project page]]).  (The
    disadvantage is that you need to keep track of new versions yourself.)

    Alternatively, you can clone the
    [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal][repository of org-re-reveal]]
    (and later execute ~git pull~ in the cloned directory to retrieve updates):
    #+BEGIN_SRC sh
    git clone https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal.git
    #+END_SRC

    Add the directory of =org-re-reveal.el= to your Emacs's ~load-path~, and add the
    following statement to your =.emacs= file.
    #+BEGIN_SRC lisp
    (require 'org-re-reveal)
    #+END_SRC

** Licensing
   I suggest that you think about “good” licensing terms for the
   presentations that you create for and with org-re-reveal (the
   source files as well as generated ones).  I recommend that
   you publish them under free and open licenses as
   [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_educational_resources][Open Educational Resources (OER)]].
   This process is simplified with oer-reveal and emacs-reveal.

   Besides, ~org-re-reveal-tdm-reservation~ offers support for the
   [[https://www.w3.org/2022/tdmrep/][TDM Reservation Protocol (TDMRep)]],
   which enables European rightsholders to restrict the use of their
   contents for text and data mining (TDM) purposes in a machine
   readable way.

   For documentation of variables, see their doc strings.  E.g.,
   either invoke ~C-h v~ followed by the name of the variable or
   browse the customization group ~org-export-re-reveal~: enter
   ~M-x customize-group~, then ~org-export-re-reveal~.

   For examples, please refer to the heading part of this document
   and to [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/tree/main/test-cases][test-cases in the GitLab repository]].

#+REVEAL: split
   Options and keywords that do not have a variable documenting their
   effects are explained in this document.  Search in reveal.js
   presentations is invoked with ~C-S-f~ (which means “Control” and
   “Shift” and “f”; curiously, “f” is shown as “F” on keyboards, which
   actually is “Shift f”).

   Note that =#+REVEAL_EXTRA_OPTIONS: your_comma_separated_options=
   and =org-re-reveal-extra-options= allow to specify
   arbitrary configuration options of reveal.js.

#+REVEAL: split
   In addition, the following customizable variables are available
   (without options/keywords):

   ~org-re-reveal-body-attrs~,
   ~org-re-reveal-browse-to-id~,
   ~org-re-reveal-client-multiplex-filter~,
   ~org-re-reveal-keys~,
   ~org-re-reveal-klipse-extra-css~,
   ~org-re-reveal-log~,
   ~org-re-reveal-multiplex-client-ext~,

   ~org-re-reveal-tts-normalize-table~

** Set the location of reveal.js

   Package org-re-reveal must know where reveal.js is on your computer before
   exporting Org contents.  You do not have to worry about any of this with
   [[https://gitlab.com/oer/emacs-reveal][emacs-reveal]].

   The location of reveal.js is the path to the top directory of the
   reveal.js installation, the directory which contains file
   ~README.md~, but *not* the one that contains the file ~reveal.js~.

   The default location is =./reveal.js=, relative to the generated
   HTML presentation.

   Customize =org-re-reveal-root= to change the location
   globally, or use keyword =#+REVEAL_ROOT= in an individual Org file.
   For example, add the following statement to your .emacs file:
#+BEGIN_SRC lisp
(setq org-re-reveal-root "file:///d:/reveal.js")
#+END_SRC

#+REVEAL: split
   *IMPORTANT*: Absolute paths as illustrated above hinder transfer of
   files between machines and servers; in addition, they violate the
   [[#cors-settings][same-origin security policy]].  Use of relative
   paths (the default) is recommended.

   In general, a presentation may embed lots of resources (JavaScript,
   CSS, images), and Org mode distinguishes the *publication* of
   projects (with multiple files) from the *export* of an individual
   Org source file.  The publication process usually creates a
   self-contained directory with all necessary resources, including
   the exported presentation(s).  Such directories can then be served
   from any web server.

   See [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/blob/main/test-cases/publish.el?ref_type=heads][publish.el]],
   which defines a publication process that exports this Readme and
   selected test cases (executed in that
   [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/blob/main/.gitlab-ci.yml?ref_type=heads][CI/CD
   pipeline on GitLab]], using functionality of oer-reveal), with the
   result being served as
   [[https://oer.gitlab.io/org-re-reveal/][GitLab Pages]].

#+REVEAL: split
   You can also set =REVEAL_ROOT= to a URL (a CDN) to use
   reveal.js from the web instead of downloading a local copy.  The
   reveal.js documentation does not mention this alternative, though,
   and your privacy policy should inform your audience that they
   download files from that CDN (quite likely with their IP address
   and browser characteristics being tracked)...

*** URL form for file location

    For example if you cloned this repository to your home directory,
    this file in Mac OS X might be referred to as
    ~file:///Users/username/org-re-reveal/Readme.org~.  This file in
    GNU/Linux could be ~file:///home/username/org-re-reveal/Readme.org~,
    in Windows
    ~file:///c:/Users/username/org-re-reveal/Readme.org~.  For more
    details on this standard please refer to
    [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_URI_scheme]].

** First Try

   The library org-re-reveal needs to be loaded first.  That can happen
   either by adding ~(require 'org-re-reveal)~ to your ~.emacs~ file or
   manually: Type "M-x load-library", then "org-re-reveal".

   Now you can export this manual, ~Readme.org~, into a reveal.js
   presentation by typing "C-c C-e v v".  That key binding can be
   changed by customizing ~org-re-reveal-keys~.

   Open the generated "Readme.html" in your browser and enjoy the
   cool slides.  (Of course, the location of reveal.js must be
   configured properly, as explained earlier.)

** Configure your version of reveal.js
   :PROPERTIES:
   :CUSTOM_ID: revealjs-version
   :END:
   Org-re-reveal supports reveal.js 3.x as well as later versions
   (where versions 4.0 and 6.0 introduced breaking changes).  You can
   customize ~org-re-reveal-revealjs-version~ (or use keyword
   =#+REVEAL_VERSION=) to indicate your version.  See that variable's
   doc string for possible values.  In particular, note that the value
   4 is also correct for version 5.x (as no further
   breaking changes were introduced), while 6 indicates version 6.x
   and later (again to address breaking changes of 6.0).

   With the default value of ~nil~, org-re-reveal tries to guess your
   version, which works when ~org-re-reveal-root~ (or keyword
   =#+REVEAL_ROOT=) points to a local directory: Based on the contents
   of that directory, your version is inferred.  However, if
   ~org-re-reveal-root~ is a remote URL, this does not work.

** Error about head.min.js
   Older versions of reveal.js included an initialization file
   ~head.min.js~, which does not exist with newer versions.  If
   org-re-reveal cannot determine that you use a newer version, it
   tries to load all files of older versions.  If that leads to
   errors, customize ~org-re-reveal-revealjs-version~.

** The HLevel

   org-re-reveal maps each heading and its contents to one reveal.js
   slide. Since reveal.js arranges slides into a 2-dimensional matrix,
   org-re-reveal use a *HLevel* value to decide whether to map headings to horizontal
   or vertical slides.

   * Headings of level less than or equal to *HLevel* are mapped to horizontal
     slides.
   * Headings with a deeper level are mapped to vertical slides.

   HLevel's default value is 1, means only level 1 headings are arranged
   horizontally. Deeper headings are mapped to vertical slides below their
   parent level 1 heading.

*** HLevel's Effects on Slides Layout

    Assume we have a simple Org file as below:
#+BEGIN_SRC org
,* H1
,* H2
,** H2.1
,*** H2.1.1
,* H3
#+END_SRC

    If HLevel is 1, the default value, headings H2.1 and H2.1.1 will
    be mapped to vertical slides below the slides of heading H2.

    [[./images/hlevel.png]]

#+REVEAL: split

    If HLevel is changed to 2, slides of heading H2.1 will be changed
    to the main horizontal queue, and slides of heading H2.1.1 will be
    a vertical slide below it.

    [[./images/hlevel2.png]]

*** Configure HLevel's Value

    * Change variable =org-re-reveal-hlevel='s value to set HLevel globally.
      For example, add the following statement to your =.emacs= file.
      #+BEGIN_SRC lisp
(setq org-re-reveal-hlevel 2)
      #+END_SRC

    * Set HLevel within individual Org file with option =REVEAL_HLEVEL=:
      #+BEGIN_SRC org
,#+REVEAL_HLEVEL: 2
      #+END_SRC

** Subheadings

   If you want one slide to have its usual heading followed by a
   subheading, you can add a ~NOSLIDE~ property (and make sure that
   the subheading does not appear in the table of contents):
#+BEGIN_SRC org
,* A normal slide
,** A subheading
   :PROPERTIES:
   :UNNUMBERED: notoc
   :NOSLIDE: t
   :END:
#+END_SRC

** Images

   Add images as usual to Org documents (see above HLevel
   visualizations), with attributes (e.g., for resizing) as shown in
   the Org manual.

   For SVG images, resizing seems to be more complicated.  See
   [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/issues/86][that issue]]
   for some options.

   That issue also points to image macros with emacs-reveal (defined
   ca. line 130 in
   [[https://gitlab.com/oer/oer-reveal/-/raw/main/org/config.org][this file]],
   using meta-data for captions and license information, particularly
   suitable for OER).
   Note that those macros make use of special height specifications
   (to prevent overflowing images when the screen’s resolution is
   larger than the slide height with reveal.js).

** Force Split

   If one heading has too many things to fit into one slide, you can
   split the contents into multiple vertical slides manually, by inserting:

#+BEGIN_SRC org
,#+REVEAL: split
#+END_SRC

#+REVEAL: split data-background="#555555"

   Now, a new slide begins after the ~#+REVEAL~ keyword.

   By default, any background attributes of a slide should remain in
   effect for the split parts.  In addition, you can
   add HTML attributes after ~#+REVEAL: split~, e.g., this slide
   uses ~#+REVEAL: split data-background="#555555"~ to set a
   background color.

   Finally, ~#+REVEAL: split:t~ repeats the previous heading on the
   new slide.

** Select Theme and Transition

    Themes and transition styles are set globally throughout the whole
    file by setting options =REVEAL_THEME=, =REVEAL_TRANS=, and =REVEAL_SPEED=.

    For an example, please check the heading part of this document.
    Note that some themes access remote servers to download fonts.
    Your privacy policy should explain this.

    Available themes can be found in "css/theme/" in the reveal.js
    directory and customized via ~org-re-reveal-theme~.

    Custom themes can be selected by setting =REVEAL_THEME= to a string
    ending with ~.css~. E.g. ~#+REVEAL_THEME: /my/theme.css~.

    Available transitions can be found in the
    [[https://revealjs.com/transitions/][documentation of reveal.js]]
    and customized via ~org-re-reveal-transition~.

** Set The Title Slide
   By default, org-re-reveal generates a title slide displaying the
   title, the author, the Email, the date and the time-stamp of the
   Org document, controlled by Org's [[https://orgmode.org/org.html#Export-settings][export settings]].

   Variable ~org-re-reveal-title-slide~ determines the title slide.
   The default ~auto~ leads to a minimal title slide (with title,
   author, e-mail, date, and timestamp—if enabled by Org export
   options).

   To avoid a title slide, set variable
   ~org-re-reveal-title-slide~ to ~nil~ or add the following header line:
   ~#+REVEAL_TITLE_SLIDE:~

*** Customize the Title Slide

    To customize the title slide, set ~org-re-reveal-title-slide~
    to a string with HTML code.  Escape sequences are documented for
    variable ~org-re-reveal-title-slide~; they can be used to retrieve
    document information.  See
    [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/blob/main/test-cases/test-title-slide.org][test-title-slide.org]]
    for an example including ~REVEAL_ACADEMIC_TITLE~,
    ~REVEAL_TALK_URL~, ~REVEAL_TALK_QR_CODE~
    and
    [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/blob/main/test-cases/test-title-slide-notes.org][test-title-slide-notes.org]]
    for a title slide including speaker notes (obsolete since version
    3.25.0; see [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/blob/main/test-cases/test-title-slide-notes-2.org][test-title-slide-notes-2.org]]
    for the simpler alternative of using a notes block).

    Alternatively, you can write the title slide's HTML code
    (with escape sequences) into a separate file and
    set ~org-re-reveal-title-slide~ to the name of that file.

** Set Slide Background

   Each slide background can be set to a color, an image, or a
   repeating image array by setting heading properties.  The following
   keywords were added in support of features of reveal.js 3.x.
   Support for
   [[https://revealjs.com/backgrounds/][background images and videos of reveal.js 4]]
   (and later), is provided with [[#slide-attributes][slide attributes]].

   Keywords ~REVEAL_DEFAULT_SLIDE_BACKGROUND~,
   ~REVEAL_DEFAULT_SLIDE_BACKGROUND_OPACITY~,
   ~REVEAL_DEFAULT_SLIDE_BACKGROUND_POSITION~
   ~REVEAL_DEFAULT_SLIDE_BACKGROUND_REPEAT~,
   ~REVEAL_DEFAULT_SLIDE_BACKGROUND_SIZE~, and
   ~REVEAL_DEFAULT_SLIDE_BACKGROUND_TRANSITION~ can be used to specify
   default values for options explained subsequently for individual
   slides.

#+REVEAL: split

   Additional keywords ~REVEAL_TITLE_SLIDE_BACKGROUND~ and
   ~REVEAL_TOC_SLIDE_BACKGROUND~ as well we variants for
   position, size, etc. set those options for the title slide and the
   TOC slide (e.g., ~REVEAL_TITLE_SLIDE_BACKGROUND_POSITION~ or
   ~REVEAL_TOC_SLIDE_BACKGROUND_SIZE~).

*** Colored Background
   :PROPERTIES:
   :reveal_background: linear-gradient(to left, #910830, #521623)
   :END:

    Set property =reveal_background= to either an RGB color value, or any
    supported CSS color format.

#+BEGIN_SRC org
,*** Colored Background
   :PROPERTIES:
   :reveal_background: linear-gradient(to left, #910830, #521623)
   :END:
#+END_SRC

*** Single Image Background - Instructions

    Set property =reveal_background= to a URL of background image.
    Set property =reveal_background_trans= to =slide= to make background image
    sliding rather than fading.
#+BEGIN_SRC org
,*** Single Image Background - Result
    :PROPERTIES:
    :reveal_background: ./images/adult-education-3258944_640.jpg
    :reveal_background_trans: slide
    :END:
#+END_SRC

*** Single Image Background - Result
    :PROPERTIES:
    :reveal_background: ./images/adult-education-3258944_640.jpg
    :reveal_background_trans: slide
    :END:

*** Repeating Image Background - Instructions

    Resize background image by setting property
    =reveal_background_size= to a number.

    Set property =reveal_background_repeat= to =repeat= to repeat
    image on the background.
#+BEGIN_SRC org
,*** Repeating Image Background - Result
    :PROPERTIES:
    :reveal_background: ./images/adult-education-3258944_640.jpg
    :reveal_background_size: 200px
    :reveal_background_repeat: repeat
    :END:
#+END_SRC

*** Repeating Image Background - Result
    :PROPERTIES:
    :reveal_background: ./images/adult-education-3258944_640.jpg
    :reveal_background_size: 200px
    :reveal_background_repeat: repeat
    :END:

*** Title Slide Background Image

    To set the title slide's background image, please specify the
    following options:

    * =REVEAL_TITLE_SLIDE_BACKGROUND=: A URL to the background image.
    * =REVEAL_TITLE_SLIDE_BACKGROUND_SIZE=: HTML size specification, e.g. ~200px~.
    * =REVEAL_TITLE_SLIDE_BACKGROUND_REPEAT=: set to ~repeat~ to repeat the image.

    For backgrounds on the TOC slide, replace ~TITLE~ with ~TOC~ in
    the above keywords.

*** Inherited backgrounds
    Customize ~org-use-property-inheritance~ to inherit the background
    for child headlines from a parent.

** Slide Size

   Reveal.js scales slides to best fit the display resolution, but you can
   also specify the desired size by settings the option tags =width= and =height=.

   The scaling behavior can also be constrained by setting following
   options:
   * =#+REVEAL_MARGIN:= :: a float number, the factor of empty area
        surrounding slide contents.
   * =#+REVEAL_MIN_SCALE:= :: a float number, the minimum scaling down
        ratio.
   * =#+REVEAL_MAX_SCALE:= :: a float number, the maximum scaling up
        ratio.

** Slide Numbering

   By default, the slide number is shown at the lower-right corner of each slide.

   To disable slide numbering, please add ~reveal_slide_number:nil~ to the
   ~#+OPTIONS:~ line.

   From reveal.js 3.1.0, slide numbering can have several custom
   formats. To choose one format, please set ~reveal_slide_number~ to
   its proper string. For example, ~reveal_slide_number:h/v~.

   Supported format strings can be found in the [[https://revealjs.com/slide-numbers/][reveal.js manual]].


** Slide Header/Footer
   Specify a header/footer to be used on all slides by
   =#+REVEAL_SLIDE_HEADER:= and =#+REVEAL_SLIDE_FOOTER:=.
   To set the footer for an individual slide, use
   a =REVEAL_SLIDE_FOOTER= property:
   #+begin_src org
     ,* Slide
       :PROPERTIES:
       :REVEAL_SLIDE_FOOTER: Footer
       :END:
       Text
   #+end_src

   Footer and header are put into ~div~ elements, defined by
   ~org-re-reveal-slide-header-html~ and
   ~org-re-reveal-slide-footer-html~, which set ~class~ attributes
   to =slide-header= and =slide-footer=; thus, you can
   control their appearance in custom CSS file (see [[Extra Stylesheets]]).

#+REVEAL: split
   By default, header/footer content will only display on content
   slides. To show them additionally on the title and toc slide use
   ~reveal_global_header:t~ and ~reveal_global_footer:t~ among
   ~#+OPTIONS:~.  To show the footer on the toc slide but not on
   the title slide, use option ~reveal_toc_footer:t~.

** Slide Containers
   Use =#+REVEAL_SLIDE_CONTAINER:= (~org-re-reveal-slide-container~)
   to define an HTML container element for the *contents* (excluding
   headlines) of all slides.

   Alternatively, use =#+REVEAL_SLIDE_GRID_DIV:=
   (~org-re-reveal-slide-grid-div~) to define an HTML container ~div~
   element for entire slides (including headline, contents, header,
   footer).

   See [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/blob/main/test-cases/test-slide-container.org][this slide container test case]]
   and [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/blob/main/test-cases/test-slide-grid-wrapper.org][that slide grid test case]].

** Fragmented Contents

    Make contents fragmented (show up one-by-one) by setting option
    =ATTR_REVEAL= with property ":frag frag-style", as illustrated
    below.

#+ATTR_REVEAL: :frag zoom-in
    Paragraphs can be fragmented.

#+ATTR_REVEAL: :frag zoom-in
    - Lists can
    - be fragmented.

#+ATTR_REVEAL: :frag zoom-in
    Pictures, tables and many other HTML elements can be fragmented.

*** Fragment Styles
    Available fragment styles include (see
    [[https://revealjs.com/fragments/][reveal.js documentation]]):
#+ATTR_REVEAL: :frag t
    * grow
    * shrink
    * fade-out
    * highlight-red
    * highlight-green
    * highlight-blue

    Setting ~:frag t~ will use reveal.js default fragment style, which
    can be overridden by local option ~#+REVEAL_DEFAULT_FRAG_STYLE~ or
    global variable ~org-re-reveal-default-frag-style~.

*** Fragment Index
    Fragment sequence can be changed by assigning adding ~:frag_idx~
    property to each fragmented element.

#+ATTR_REVEAL: :frag t :frag_idx 3
    And, this paragraph shows at last.

#+ATTR_REVEAL: :frag t :frag_idx 2
    This paragraph shows secondly.

#+ATTR_REVEAL: :frag t :frag_idx 1
    This paragraph shows at first.

*** List Fragments

    ~#+ATTR_REVEAL: :frag frag-style~ above a list defines fragment
    style for the list as a whole.
#+ATTR_REVEAL: :frag grow
    1. All items grow.
    2. As a whole.

    To define fragment styles for every list item, please enumerate
    each item's style in a lisp list.

    ~none~ in the style list will disable fragment for the
    corresponding list item.

    Custom fragment sequence should also be enumerated for each list
    item.

#+REVEAL: split
    An example:

#+BEGIN_SRC org
,#+ATTR_REVEAL: :frag (grow shrink zoom-in fade-out none) :frag_idx (4 3 2 1 -)
   * I will grow.
   * I will shrink.
   * I zoomed in.
   * I will fade out.
   * I don't fragment.
#+END_SRC

#+ATTR_REVEAL: :frag (grow shrink zoom-in fade-out none) :frag_idx (4 3 2 1 -)
   * I will grow.
   * I will shrink.
   * I zoomed in.
   * I will fade out.
   * I don't fragment.
#+REVEAL: split
   When there is ~:frag_idx~ specified, insufficient fragment style
   list will be extended by its last element. So a ~:frag (appear)~
   assigns each item of a list the ~appear~ fragment style (which is
   not necessary with reveal.js 4.x any more but does not hurt).
#+BEGIN_SRC org
,#+ATTR_REVEAL: :frag (appear)
   * I appear.
   * I appear.
   * I appear.
#+END_SRC
#+ATTR_REVEAL: :frag (appear)
   * I appear.
   * I appear.
   * I appear.

*** List Fragments with Audio

    You can also use org-re-reveal in combination with the
    audio-slideshow plugin of
    [[https://github.com/rajgoel/reveal.js-plugins][reveal.js-plugins]].
    For example, when the audio-slideshow plugin is configured
    properly, the following plays ~1.ogg~ when the first list item
    appears, ~2.ogg~ for the second list item, and no audio for the
    third.  (You need to add audio files to the current
    directory first—as in the
    [[https://oer.gitlab.io/emacs-reveal-howto/][emacs-reveal howto]].)

#+BEGIN_SRC org
,#+ATTR_REVEAL: :frag (appear) :audio (1.ogg 2.ogg none)
   * I appear with audio 1.ogg.
   * I appear with audio 2.ogg.
   * I appear without audio.
#+END_SRC

#+ATTR_REVEAL: :frag (appear) :audio (1.ogg 2.ogg none)
   * I appear with audio 1.ogg.
   * I appear with audio 2.ogg.
   * I appear without audio.

** Data State and Classes for Headlines and Slides, including generated ones
   :PROPERTIES:
   :reveal_data_state: alert
   :END:

   Set property =reveal_data_state= to a headline to change this
   slide's display style.  (In the past, ~reveal.min.css~ defined
   classes ~alert~, ~blackout~, ~soothe~, which were activated by the
   data state.)  In any case, property =reveal_data_state= adds a
   ~data-state~ attribute to the slide's ~section~ element, which is
   called “Slide State” by reveal.js; this might also be useful with
   reveal.js plugins.

#+REVEAL: split
   To add a ~data-state~ attribute to a generated title slide or
   table of contents slide, you can use the following options:

   * =REVEAL_TITLE_SLIDE_STATE=
   * =REVEAL_TOC_SLIDE_STATE=

   To add a ~class~ attribute to a ~section~ element, use
   [[#slide-attributes][Extra Slide Attributes]]
   (e.g., property ~:reveal_extra_attr: class="my-class"~).

   To add a ~class~ attribute to the ~section~ element of a generated
   table of contents slide, you can use the option
   =REVEAL_TOC_SLIDE_CLASS=.

   To add a ~class~ attribute to a slide's ~h~-element, add property
   =html_headline_class= to the headline.


** Activate Plugins

   Set option =REVEAL_PLUGINS= or variable =org-re-reveal-plugins= to a
   lisp list to activate additional reveal.js functionality.

   Variable =org-re-reveal-plugins= allows the selection of available plugins.

   The following example selects /markdown/, /highlight/, and /search/.
#+BEGIN_SRC org
,#+REVEAL_PLUGINS: (markdown highlight search)
#+END_SRC

*** External plugins
    :PROPERTIES:
    :CUSTOM_ID: external-plugins
    :END:
    Starting with version 3.4.0 of org-re-reveal and reveal.js version
    4, you can use keyword ~REVEAL_ADD_PLUGIN~ to enable external
    plugins (which you need to install yourself).  E.g., copy the
    directory of the
    [[https://github.com/rajgoel/reveal.js-plugins/tree/main/chalkboard][Chalkboard plugin]]
    to the plugin directory of reveal.js; then activate the
    plugin as follows, where ~chalkboard~ is an internal name,
    ~RevealChalkboard~ is the JavaScript name of the plugin, and
    ~plugin/chalkboard/plugin.js~ is the path with code for the
    plugin (a CDN URL works as well):
#+BEGIN_SRC org
,#+REVEAL_ADD_PLUGIN: chalkboard RevealChalkboard plugin/chalkboard/plugin.js
#+END_SRC
    See also
    [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/blob/main/test-cases/test-plugin-css.org][this
    test file for CSS with plugins]]


*** Plugin configuration
    :PROPERTIES:
    :CUSTOM_ID: plugin-config
    :END:
    Starting with version 3 of org-re-reveal, which supports reveal.js
    4, you can customize ~org-re-reveal-plugin-config~ to enable
    additional plugins.  For reveal.js 6.0 and later, use
    ~org-re-reveal-plugin-6-config~.

    As an alternative to external plugin
    configuration shown on the previous slide, you can also add
    ~(chalkboard "RevealChalkboard" "plugin/chalkboard/plugin.js")~ to
    ~org-re-reveal-plugin-config~ (or to ~org-re-reveal-plugin-6-config~),
    e.g., with that line in your ~.emacs~:
#+BEGIN_SRC org
(add-to-list 'org-re-reveal-plugin-config '(chalkboard "RevealChalkboard" "plugin/chalkboard/plugin.js"))
#+END_SRC

    Then, activate the plugin in your presentation:
#+BEGIN_SRC org
,#+REVEAL_PLUGINS: (chalkboard highlight search)
#+END_SRC

** Third-Party Plugins
   Plugins were initialized differently before version 4 of reveal.js.
   Several plugins are included and
   configured with [[https://gitlab.com/oer/emacs-reveal][emacs-reveal]].

#+REVEAL: split

   In addition to [[#plugin-config][plugin configuration]] described
   above, you can customize JavaScript loading code for plugins with
   variable ~org-re-reveal-external-plugins~.  This variable can be an
   associative list or a filename.  If it is an associative list, the
   first element of each Assoc cell is a symbol -- the name of the
   plugin -- and the second is a string that will be expanded by the
   ~format~ function when the plugin is loaded.  So, this second
   element should have the form:

   ~" {src: \"%srelative/path/toplugin/from/reveal/root.js\"}"~

   If you need the async or callback parameters, include those too.

#+REVEAL: split

   If ~org-re-reveal-external-plugins~ is a filename, that file must
   contain strings of the above format, one per line (without names of
   plugins, just the ~src~ information embedded in braces); this can
   also be configured within your Org presentation with a line like
   this:

=#+REVEAL_EXTERNAL_PLUGINS: external_plugins.js=

   In any case, org-re-reveal will add the plugins to the dependencies
   parameter when Reveal.js is initialized.


** Highlight Source Code

   There are three options to highlight source code (or not), see doc
   string of customizable variable ~org-re-reveal-no-htmlize-src~.
   1. Use your Emacs theme with ~htmlize.el~
   2. Use highlight.js
   3. Disable htmlize with above variable, enable on selected source
      code blocks

   To use your Emacs theme, please make sure ~htmlize.el~ is
   installed. Then no more setup is necessary.

   If indentation is wrong, maybe set variable =org-html-indent=
   to =nil= and/or =org-src-preserve-indentation= to =t=.  Then export again.

*** Using highlight.js

    You can also use [[https://highlightjs.org][highlight.js]], by adding ~highlight~ to the reveal.js
    plugin list.
    #+BEGIN_SRC org
      ,#+REVEAL_PLUGINS: (highlight)
    #+END_SRC

    The default highlighting theme is ~zenburn.css~ brought with
    reveal.js. To use other themes, please specify the CSS file name by
    ~#+REVEAL_HIGHLIGHT_CSS~ or the variable ~org-re-reveal-highlight-css~.

    A ~%r~ in the given CSS file name is replaced by the root
    directory of reveal.js.

#+REVEAL: split

    If you use highlight.js, org-re-reveal exports the source code
    inside an HTML ~code~ element, to which you can assign attributes
    ([[https://revealjs.com/code/][understood by reveal.js]]) with
    ~code_attribs~, e.g., add line numbers and highlight lines 1 and 5:
    ~#+ATTR_REVEAL: :code_attribs data-line-numbers="1,5"~

    To assign attributes to the surrounding ~pre~ element, use
    ~#+ATTR_HTML~, e.g.: ~#+ATTR_HTML: :data-id id1~

#+MACRO: klipse-languages (eval (message "%s" (mapconcat #'identity org-re-reveal-klipse-languages ", ")))
** Editable and Executable Source Code
   Thanks to [[https://github.com/viebel/klipse][klipse]], it is
   possible to embed code blocks in CodeMirror instance in order to
   edit and execute code during a presentation.  Note that klipse
   support has been rewritten in org-re-reveal 1.1.11.  Previously,
   code was displayed in iframes, which does not allow sharing state
   between different pieces of code; in particular, SQL did not work
   (see [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/issues/23][this issue]]).

   Now, without iframes, some CSS settings of klipse and reveal.js are
   in conflict.  In particular, scaling needs to be disabled with
   klipse.  See settings of this Readme and examples in the Tips
   section under [[Executable Source Blocks]] as well as that
   [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/blob/main/test-cases/test-klipsify.org][test file]]
   to get started.

   At present code editing is supported in: {{{klipse-languages}}}

** Using Footnotes
  :PROPERTIES:
  :CUSTOM_ID: footnotes
  :END:
  - Use footnotes as usual
  - Two options
    1. Add a slide “Footnotes”, where all footnotes are collected (see [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/blob/main/test-cases/test-footnotes.org][test-footnotes.org]])
    2. Use startup option ~fnlocal~ to create footnote directly on slide (see [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/blob/main/test-cases/test-footnotes-local.org][test-footnotes-local.org]])

** MathJax
  :PROPERTIES:
  :CUSTOM_ID: my-heading
  :END:

   ${n! \over k!(n-k)!} = {n \choose k}$

   LaTeX equations are rendered in native HTML5 contents.

   *IMPORTANT*: Displaying equations requires an internet connection
   to load JavaScript or a local MathJax installation.

   If you use MathJax from a remote location, your privacy policy
   should explain this.

   As explained next, two options exist to activate MathJax.

*** Use MathJax
    Two alternatives exist.

    1. Reveal.js added the ~math~ plugin in version 4.  Add that to
       ~org-re-reveal-plugins~.
    2. If org-re-reveal detects LaTeX math code and the ~math~ plugin
       is not used, a ~script~ element loads the MathJax library.  Set
       option =REVEAL_MATHJAX_URL= to a remote or local MathJax
       location (if you are not happy with the default value of
       ~org-re-reveal-mathjax-url~).

*** Configuration of MathJax
    The [[https://revealjs.com/math/][Reveal.js documentation]]
    explains how to configure MathJax with the ~math~ plugin.

    If you do not use the ~math~ plugin, you may
    [[http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/options/output/chtml.html][configure MathJax]],
    with =REVEAL_HEAD_PREAMBLE= (that keyword and related ones
    are documented on subsequent slides).

    #+BEGIN_SRC org
      ,#+REVEAL_HEAD_PREAMBLE: <script>MathJax = { chtml: {scale: 0.85} };</script>
    #+END_SRC

** Preamble and Postamble

   You can define preamble and postamble contents which will not be
   shown as slides, but will be exported into the body part of the
   generated HTML file, at just before and after the slide contents.

   All pre- and postamble contents are treated as format strings, with
   %-sequences of =org-re-reveal-title-slide=.  In particular, single
   percent signs need to be escaped (two percent signs).

   Change preamble and postamble contents globally by setting variable
   =org-re-reveal-preamble= and =org-re-reveal-postamble=.

   Change preamble and postamble contents locally by setting options
   =REVEAL_PREAMBLE= and =REVEAL_POSTAMBLE=, as illustrated at the
   heading part of this document.

*** Preamble in =<head>= element
    To add custom contents into the HTML =<head>= element, set
    variable =org-re-reveal-head-preamble= or option
    =REVEAL_HEAD_PREAMBLE=.

*** Postscript after reveal.js initialization
    To add a script (or HTML code) at the end of the generated
    document (just before the closing ~body~ tag), use
    =REVEAL_POSTSCRIPT= or variable =org-re-reveal-postscript=.

*** Generating Pre/Postamble by Emacs-Lisp Functions

    If the contents of pre/postamble is the name of an evaluated
    Emacs-Lisp function, which must accept an argument of Org mode
    info and return a string, the returned string will be taken
    as pre/postamble contents.

    So you can embed the Emacs-Lisp function as an Org Babel source
    block and mark it to be evaluated when exporting the document.

** Raw HTML in Slides

   Besides the Org contents, you can embed raw HTML contents
   into slides by placing a =#+REVEAL_HTML= keyword.

   A talk by Linus Torvalds on Git (the source code to embed that
   video makes use of attribute ~data-src~ for lazy loading of the
   video):
   #+REVEAL_HTML: <video controls width="400" height="300" data-src="https://archive.org/download/LinusTorvaldsOnGittechTalk/LinusTorvaldsOnGittechTalk.ogv"></video>

** Speaker Notes
   Reveal.js supports [[https://revealjs.com/speaker-view/][speaker notes]],
   which are displayed in a separate browser window.  Press 's' to
   open a popup window that displays the current slide with its
   speaker notes, a timer, and a preview of upcoming contents.
   (You need to enable popup windows in your browser.  If the popup
   window appears but does not work properly, try this: close the
   popup window, then press 's' again.)

   To configure timing, see ~org-re-reveal-defaulttiming~ and
   ~org-re-reveal-totaltime~.  The following example shows how to
   define speaker notes for a slide with an estimated talk time of
   120s.

#+REVEAL: split

#+BEGIN_SRC org
,* Heading 1
   :PROPERTIES:
   :reveal_extra_attr: data-timing="120"
   :END:
   Some contents.
,#+BEGIN_NOTES
  Enter speaker notes here.
  - With /markup/ and bullet points
    - If necessary
,#+END_NOTES
#+END_SRC

#+REVEAL: split
   Speaker note functionality requires that ~notes~ is configured as
   plugin (which is true by default with ~org-re-reveal-plugins~) and
   that popup windows are permitted.

   Due to a bug in reveal.js, sometimes the speaker notes window does
   not initialize properly.  As workaround, close the speaker notes
   windows and press ’s’ again; notes should be working then.
   If this does not work, you may need to put the presentation HTML
   file into the reveal.js root directory and reopen it in the browser.

#+REVEAL: split
   Besides, reveal.js has a configuration option ~showNotes~, which
   allows to show the notes during the presentation.
   Customize ~org-re-reveal-show-notes~ or use the option
   ~reveal_show_notes~ to enable this option.

*** Easy-Template for Speaker Notes

    Org-re-reveal registers 'n' as key for the speaker notes template:
    You can press '<' followed by 'n' and then press TAB, which
    inserts ~#+begin_notes~ and ~#+end_notes~.  For this to work with
    Org version 9.2 or newer, you need to place ~(require 'org-tempo)~
    into your ~.emacs~ or add ~org-tempo~ to ~org-modules~.  (Besides,
    function ~org-insert-structure-template~ allows the insertion of
    different kinds of block structures.)

    Customize ~org-re-reveal-note-key-char~ to change the default key
    'n'.  Set to nil to avoid auto-completion for speaker notes.

*** PDF Export of Speaker Notes

    To export speaker notes to PDF (with ~?print-pdf~ after ~.html~, see
    [[https://revealjs.com/pdf-export/]]), customize
    ~org-re-reveal-export-notes-to-pdf~ or use the keyword
    ~REVEAL_EXPORT_NOTES_TO_PDF~ with the string ~separate-page~.

*** Text-To-Speech (TTS) for Speaker Notes
    Version 3.19.0 of org-re-reveal introduces support for TTS, which
    is complemented by functionality in emacs-reveal.

    Briefly, org-re-reveal can export notes from presentations to text
    files, from which audio files can be generated (e.g., with
    emacs-reveal).  The
    [[https://github.com/rajgoel/reveal.js-plugins/tree/main/audio-slideshow][audio-slideshow plugin]]
    can then play generated audio.  The result can serve as video mode for
    presentations, without the hassle of audio recording/cutting (and
    with the usual usability advantages of reveal.js presentations
    over videos).

    See variable ~org-re-reveal-with-tts~, whose doc string points to
    [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/blob/main/test-cases/test-notes-for-tts.org][this sample presentation]]
    and this [[https://oer.gitlab.io/emacs-reveal-howto/tts-howto.html][TTS howto]]
    for emacs-reveal, both of which document various aspects of the
    TTS process.

    If you do not want to use emacs-reveal (or its Docker images),
    [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/issues/92#note_1710604946][the script in that comment]]
    may help you getting started.

** Multiplexing
   Reveal.js supports [[https://github.com/reveal/multiplex][multiplexing]],
   which allows your audience to view
   the slides of the presentation you are controlling on their own phone, tablet
   or laptop.  As the main presentation navigates the slides, all client
   presentations will update in real time.

   Please see
   [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/blob/main/test-cases/test-multiplex.org][this sample presentation for instructions]].
   Briefly, you need to configure ~multiplex~ as plugin, with
   URL, ID and Secret of a socket.io server.  Then, generate main
   (with Secret) and client presentations and publish the client
   presentation for your audience.  Customize
   ~org-re-reveal-multiplex-client-ext~ to influence the name of the
   client presentation.  Maybe customize ~org-re-reveal-multiplex-js-url~
   ([[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/issues/98][see this issue]]).

** Extra Stylesheets

   Add stylesheet file path (or remote URL) with =REVEAL_EXTRA_CSS= in
   order to load extra custom styles after loading a theme.
   This keyword can be used multiple times.

#+BEGIN_SRC org
,#+REVEAL_EXTRA_CSS: url-to-custom-stylesheet.css
#+END_SRC

** Extra JavaScript Libraries

   Set =REVEAL_EXTRA_SCRIPTS= to a list of extra JavaScript
   libraries of script elements.
#+BEGIN_SRC org
,#+REVEAL_EXTRA_SCRIPTS: ("filename.js" "<script>Your code here\n</script>")
#+END_SRC

** Extra Slide Attributes
   :PROPERTIES:
   :CUSTOM_ID: slide-attributes
   :END:

   Set =REVEAL_EXTRA_ATTR= to add any additional attributes to all slides if
   required (such attributes are added to ~section~ elements).
#+BEGIN_SRC org
,#+REVEAL_EXTRA_ATTR: data-autoslide=20000
#+END_SRC

   This global default value can also be overridden per heading by setting
   a =reveal_extra_attr= property on the heading:
#+BEGIN_SRC org
,*** Heading with overriden autoslide
   :PROPERTIES:
   :reveal_extra_attr: data-autoslide=10000
   :END:
#+END_SRC

#+REVEAL: split
   In particular, extra attributes allow to configure
   [[https://revealjs.com/backgrounds/][slide backgrounds of reveal.js]]
   such as images and videos, e.g.:
#+BEGIN_SRC org
,* Headline
  :PROPERTIES:
  :reveal_extra_attr: data-background-video="https://static.slid.es/site/homepage/v1/homepage-video-editor.mp4" data-background-video-loop data-background-video-muted
  :END:
#+END_SRC

  Use keyword ~REVEAL_TITLE_SLIDE_EXTRA_ATTR~ to add extra attributes
  to the title slide.

** Export into Single File

   By setting option =reveal_single_file= (or variable
   =org-re-reveal-single-file=) to ~t~, images and basic reveal.js
   scripts are embedded into the exported HTML file, to create a
   self-contained, portable HTML.  Please note that remote images
   cannot be used with single-file export (maybe
   ~reveal_embed_local_resources~ does what you want then, see below).

   Attention: This needs locally available reveal.js files (no CDN
   files)!  [[#revealjs-location][Instructions to set location of reveal.js.]].

   #+BEGIN_SRC org
   ,#+OPTIONS: reveal_single_file:t
   #+END_SRC

#+REVEAL: split

   *Limitations* of single file export
   * Some functions provided by reveal.js libraries will be
     *disabled*, including PDF export.  With reveal.js 3.x, all
     plugins are disabled, while with reveal.js 4 and later, those in
     ~org-re-reveal-plugin-config~ and ~org-re-reveal-plugin-6-config~
     should still work.
     * Code highlighting by Emacs works in any case.
   * Plugins are *not* enabled.
   * CSS needs to be *self-contained*.  Neither ~@import~ rules nor
     other forms of URLs work (images need to be embedded as
     data URIs).
   * If you use ~org-re-reveal-title-slide~ with custom HTML code and
     images, you need to embed images in the form of data URIs
     yourself.

#+REVEAL: split
   Option ~reveal_embed_local_resources~ provides an alternative to
   ~reveal_single_file~: Here, local resources are embedded if
   possible.  Where the export with ~reveal_single_file~ would fail,
   it continues with given (potentially remote) resources.

   See [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/issues/66][this issue]]
   for a use case.

** Export Current Subtree

  Use menu entry "C-c C-e v s" to export only current subtree,
  without the title slide and the table of content, for a quick preview
  of your current edition.

  Customize ~org-re-reveal-subtree-with-title-slide~ to also export a
  title slide.

* Tips

** En-/Disable Heading Numbers

   Use Org export option =num=, e.g., =num:t= or =num:nil=:
#+BEGIN_SRC org
,#+OPTIONS: num:nil
#+END_SRC

   With heading numbers (i.e., without ~num:nil~), depending on
   ~org-re-reveal-generate-custom-ids~, (more) stable slide IDs can be
   generated (instead of hash values that change with content
   changes).  See doc string (~C-h v~) of variable
   ~org-re-reveal-generate-custom-ids~ for more details.

** Disable Table of Contents

   Add =toc:nil= to =#+OPTIONS= to disable the table of contents:
#+BEGIN_SRC org
,#+OPTIONS: toc:nil
#+END_SRC

   This is actually an option recognized by =org-export=.

** Table of Contents at Specified Position
   When using option =toc:nil=, you can also insert a slide with the table
   of contents at a position of your choice with keyword =REVEAL_TOC=
   (where the number after =headlines= defines the depth of headlines
   to include) in a section of its own (see this
   [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/blob/main/test-cases/test-slide-numbers-reveal-toc.org][test file]]):

#+BEGIN_SRC org
,** Table of Contents
   :PROPERTIES:
   :UNNUMBERED: notoc
   :END:
,#+REVEAL_TOC: headlines 1
#+END_SRC

*WARNING:* Previous versions of org-re-reveal used keyword =TOC= (which
generates the table of contents in a section with default headline)
instead of =REVEAL_TOC=.  Keyword =TOC= may or may not work for you.
Its use is discouraged as it may break some presentations.

** Internal Links

   Reveal.js only supports jumps to entire slides, but not to specific
   elements on slides. Thus, we can only link to headlines in an Org
   document.

   You can create links pointing to a headline's text, or its
   custom-id, as in the examples below:

   * [[Tips]].
   * [[#my-heading][Heading]] with a =CUSTOM_ID= property.

#+REVEAL: split
   If you add =reveal_inter_presentation_links:t= to =#+OPTIONS=, such
   links also work between presentations on the same server, e.g.,
   =[[file:somefile.org::#anchor][link text]]=.

   Reveal.js [[https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js#internal-links][advertises]]
   to use broken internal links, which are used in org-re-reveal by
   default.  (Those links work with reveal.js, but are not understood
   by search engines.)  If you change ~org-re-reveal--href-fragment-prefix~
   from its default to the value of ~org-re-reveal--slide-id-prefix~,
   valid links are generated:
   #+BEGIN_SRC lisp
   (setq org-re-reveal--href-fragment-prefix org-re-reveal--slide-id-prefix)
   #+END_SRC
   Whether this change is a good idea might be discussed under this
   [[https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js/issues/2276][reveal.js issue]].

** Custom JS

   To pass custom JS code to ~Reveal.initialize~, state the code by
   ~#+REVEAL_INIT_SCRIPT~ (multiple statements are concatenated) or by
   custom variable ~org-re-reveal-init-script~.

** Executable Source Blocks
   To allow live execution of code in some languages, enable the
   klipse plugin
   with variable ~org-re-reveal-klipsify-src~ (or with option ~reveal_klipsify_src:t~)

   Src blocks with the languages contained in
   ~org-re-reveal-klipse-setup~ will be executed with output shown in
   a console-like environment.  See
   [[https://github.com/viebel/klipse#klipse][the README of klipse]]
   for more details.

   Additional examples (e.g., Python and SQL) can be found in a
   [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/blob/main/test-cases/test-klipsify.org][test file]].

*** HTML Src Block
#+BEGIN_SRC html
<h1 class="whatever">hello, what's your name</h1>
#+END_SRC

*** Javascript Src Block
#+BEGIN_SRC js
console.log("success");
var x='string using single quote';
x
#+END_SRC

*** Perl Src Block (not klipsified)
#+BEGIN_SRC perl
I don't know perl!
#+END_SRC

** Multiple columns
If you need multiple columns (in multi-column slide layouts),
[[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/issues/88][that issue]]
demonstrates how to use grid layouts with ~div~ wrappers.

Alternatively, with
[[https://gitlab.com/oer/emacs-reveal][emacs-reveal]],
a special environment is available for left and right columns, see its
[[https://gitlab.com/oer/emacs-reveal-howto/-/blob/main/howto.org][howto]]
for an example.

* Notes

The project /org-re-reveal/ is a
[[https://github.com/lechten/org-reveal][fork of org-reveal]].
It provides an export back-end for HTML presentations with
[[https://revealjs.com/][reveal.js]] from
[[https://orgmode.org/][Org mode]] source files.

Being a fork means that /org-re-reveal/ and /org-reveal/ are two
independent projects from which you need to choose one.  I created
/org-re-reveal/ during a period when /org-reveal/ was unmaintained,
in particular to add support for the audio-slideshow plugin of
[[https://github.com/rajgoel/reveal.js-plugins][reveal.js-plugins]].
Nowadays, both projects have diverged considerably.  If someone could
suggest how to merge the forks, please go ahead!

#+REVEAL: split

Note that this Readme is written in the lightweight markup language
Org mode, for which browser support on GitLab is limited.  In
particular, internal hyperlinks won’t work.  I suggest to either open
[[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/blob/main/Readme.org][the
Org source file of this Readme]]
in Emacs or to view the generated
[[https://oer.gitlab.io/org-re-reveal/Readme.html][Readme for
org-re-reveal as /reveal.js/ presentation]] in your browser.

Generated /reveal.js/ presentations for test cases are available as well:
[[https://oer.gitlab.io/org-re-reveal/]]

** Emacs-reveal
If you are interested in /org-re-reveal/, I suggest that you take
a look at [[https://gitlab.com/oer/emacs-reveal][emacs-reveal]], which
embeds /org-re-reveal/, /reveal.js/, and useful
plugins as submodules, combined with suitable Emacs configuration.
A [[https://gitlab.com/oer/emacs-reveal-howto][Howto for the generation of reveal.js presentations (slides with audio) with emacs-reveal]]
exists as well.

I use /emacs-reveal/ to generate Open Educational Resources (OER).
In particular,
macros coming with /emacs-reveal/ simplify license attribution for
embedded figures considerably:

Originally, /emacs-reveal/ was created to enhance /org-reveal/, and it
contained the code of what is now maintained separately as
/org-re-reveal-ref/ and /oer-reveal/.  Those packages were separated
to make as much of /emacs-reveal/ available on MELPA as possible.
Whether anyone wants to use those package in isolation, is up to them.

** Changelog
   See file [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/tree/main/CHANGELOG.org][CHANGELOG]]
   for changes of /org-re-reveal/ compared to /org-reveal/ and onward

   Note that /org-re-reveal/ 3.0.0 supports backwards-incompatible
   changes introduced with /reveal.js/ 4.0.  By default,
   /org-re-reveal/ targets /reveal.js/ 3.x.  If you want support for
   /reveal.js/ 4.x or later versions, see [[#revealjs-version][below how to configure the version]].

** Side note: Customization of variables
   - GNU Emacs can be customized in various ways, and /org-re-reveal/
     is no exception in that regard.
     - This Readme frequently suggests “to customize” some variables.
   - You may want to read the
     [[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Customization.html][Emacs manual entry on customization]].
   - As shortcut
     - Type ~C-h v~ (which means press the ~Ctrl~ key and ~h~
       simultaneously, then ~v~).  You are asked for a variable name.
       Enter it, e.g., ~org-re-reveal-revealjs-version~.  You wind up in a
       help buffer, showing the current value and a “customize” link.
       Enter/press the link, leading to a customization buffer, where
       you can change the value and “Apply” (or “Apply and
       Save”) it.

* Reveal.js and org-re-reveal

  - [[https://revealjs.com/][Reveal.js]] is a tool for creating
    good-looking HTML presentations, authored by
    [[https://hakim.se/][Hakim El Hattab]].
  - Org-re-reveal exports your [[https://orgmode.org/][Org mode]]
    documents to reveal.js presentations.

    With org-re-reveal, you can create beautiful presentations with 3D
    effects from simple but powerful Org contents.

** Local presentations and CORS security
   :PROPERTIES:
   :CUSTOM_ID: cors-settings
   :END:
   - Generated presentations can be opened and viewed in browsers
     (without the need for a web server)
     - Some features may be prohibited based on [[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS/Errors/CORSRequestNotHttp][cross-origin request security settings]]
       - E.g., with audio, the browser console of Firefox may show:
         ~Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at file:///... (Reason: CORS request not http)~
         - [[https://kb.mozillazine.org/Security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy][Workaround]]
       - Maybe use option ~--allow-file-access-from-files~ with chromium
     - Maybe serve presentations with [[#local-web-server][local web server]]

** Local presentations with web server
   :PROPERTIES:
   :CUSTOM_ID: local-web-server
   :END:
   - As alternative to overriding [[#cors-settings][CORS settings]],
     start a web server for generated presentations on ~localhost~,
     e.g.:
     - MELPA package
       [[https://melpa.org/#/simple-httpd][simple-httpd]] with
       ~M-x httpd-serve-directory~ or
     - [[https://revealjs.com/installation/#full-setup][full setup of reveal.js]]
   - Suggestion
     - Embed resources (e.g., reveal.js, CSS, plugins) with relative
       paths into presentation (instead of absolute ~file~ paths)
     - Then, presentation works not only locally but also on public
       web server
       - E.g., with free and open license as OER at [[https://oer.gitlab.io/]]

* Requirements and Installation

  - Reveal.js
  - GNU Emacs, version 24.4 or later
  - Org mode
  - Org-re-reveal
  - Htmlize.el or highlight.js (plugin of reveal.js)
    - For source code highlighting, which is explained below
      - Depending on your version of Org mode, htmlize.el may be
        necessary even if you want to use highlight.js

** Install reveal.js

   *Note:* This is only necessary if you do not use [[https://gitlab.com/oer/emacs-reveal][emacs-reveal]],
   which installs and configures reveal.js with several of its plugins.

   Install reveal.js as described in its
   [[https://revealjs.com/installation/][installation instructions]]
   (the “Basic Setup” is sufficient to use org-re-reveal, but see
   [[#cors-settings]]).

   As described under [[#revealjs-location][Set the location of reveal.js]]
   you could also use reveal.js from a remote location (a CDN),
   avoiding a local installation; the reveal.js documentation does not
   mention this alternative, though.
   ([[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/blob/main/test-cases/test-remote-plugin.org][Sample file]])

** Install org-re-reveal

   You can install org-re-reveal as MELPA package or from GitLab (both
   options are explained subsequently).

   In any case, this package defines the Org export back-end
   ~re-reveal~.  As usual for export back-ends, you can either
   customize ~org-export-backends~ to include ~re-reveal~ or add the
   following to your ~.emacs~ file.
   #+BEGIN_SRC lisp
   (require 'org-re-reveal)
   #+END_SRC

   *Note*: It is suggested to use a recent version of Org mode with
   org-re-reveal.  [[https://orgmode.org/][Installation of Org mode.]]
   ([[https://gitlab.com/oer/emacs-reveal][Emacs-reveal]] also
   includes Org mode.)

*** Install org-re-reveal from MELPA

    Package org-re-reveal is available on MELPA.  Use of MELPA requires
    some setup code in your ~.emacs~ file.
    See [[https://melpa.org/#/getting-started][here how to get started with MELPA]].

    After installation of org-re-reveal, you still need to activate it
    as suggested on the previous slide.

*** Install org-re-reveal from GitLab

    You can download org-re-reveal as archive from GitLab
    ([[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/archive/main/org-re-reveal-main.zip][zip archive]]
    and several ~tar~ variants; note the download icon on the
    [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal][project page]]).  (The
    disadvantage is that you need to keep track of new versions yourself.)

    Alternatively, you can clone the
    [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal][repository of org-re-reveal]]
    (and later execute ~git pull~ in the cloned directory to retrieve updates):
    #+BEGIN_SRC sh
    git clone https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal.git
    #+END_SRC

    Add the directory of =org-re-reveal.el= to your Emacs's ~load-path~, and add the
    following statement to your =.emacs= file.
    #+BEGIN_SRC lisp
    (require 'org-re-reveal)
    #+END_SRC

** Licensing
   I suggest that you think about “good” licensing terms for the
   presentations that you create for and with org-re-reveal (the
   source files as well as generated ones).  I recommend that
   you publish them under free and open licenses as
   [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_educational_resources][Open Educational Resources (OER)]].
   This process is simplified with oer-reveal and emacs-reveal.

   Besides, ~org-re-reveal-tdm-reservation~ offers support for the
   [[https://www.w3.org/2022/tdmrep/][TDM Reservation Protocol (TDMRep)]],
   which enables European rightsholders to restrict the use of their
   contents for text and data mining (TDM) purposes in a machine
   readable way.

   For documentation of variables, see their doc strings.  E.g.,
   either invoke ~C-h v~ followed by the name of the variable or
   browse the customization group ~org-export-re-reveal~: enter
   ~M-x customize-group~, then ~org-export-re-reveal~.

   Options and keywords that do not have a variable documenting their
   effects are explained in this document.  Search in reveal.js
   presentations is invoked with ~C-S-f~ (which means “Control” and
   “Shift” and “f”; curiously, “f” is shown as “F” on keyboards, which
   actually is “Shift f”).

   Note that =#+REVEAL_EXTRA_OPTIONS: your_comma_separated_options=

** Set the location of reveal.js
   :PROPERTIES:
   :CUSTOM_ID: revealjs-location
   :END:

   Package org-re-reveal must know where reveal.js is on your computer before
   exporting Org contents.  You do not have to worry about any of this with
   [[https://gitlab.com/oer/emacs-reveal][emacs-reveal]].

   The location of reveal.js is the path to the top directory of the
   reveal.js installation, the directory which contains file
   ~README.md~, but *not* the one that contains the file ~reveal.js~.

   The default location is =./reveal.js=, relative to the generated
   HTML presentation.

   Customize =org-re-reveal-root= to change the location
   globally, or use keyword =#+REVEAL_ROOT= in an individual Org file.
   For example, add the following statement to your .emacs file:
#+BEGIN_SRC lisp
(setq org-re-reveal-root "file:///d:/reveal.js")
#+END_SRC

#+REVEAL: split
   *IMPORTANT*: Absolute paths as illustrated above hinder transfer of
   files between machines and servers; in addition, they violate the
   [[#cors-settings][same-origin security policy]].  Use of relative
   paths (the default) is recommended.

   In general, a presentation may embed lots of resources (JavaScript,
   CSS, images), and Org mode distinguishes the *publication* of
   projects (with multiple files) from the *export* of an individual
   Org source file.  The publication process usually creates a
   self-contained directory with all necessary resources, including
   the exported presentation(s).  Such directories can then be served
   from any web server.

   See [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/blob/main/test-cases/publish.el?ref_type=heads][publish.el]],
   which defines a publication process that exports this Readme and
   selected test cases (executed in that
   [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/blob/main/.gitlab-ci.yml?ref_type=heads][CI/CD
   pipeline on GitLab]], using functionality of oer-reveal), with the
   result being served as
   [[https://oer.gitlab.io/org-re-reveal/][GitLab Pages]].

#+REVEAL: split
   You can also set =REVEAL_ROOT= to a URL (a CDN) to use
   reveal.js from the web instead of downloading a local copy.  The
   reveal.js documentation does not mention this alternative, though,
   and your privacy policy should inform your audience that they
   download files from that CDN (quite likely with their IP address
   and browser characteristics being tracked)...

*** URL form for file location

    For example if you cloned this repository to your home directory,
    this file in Mac OS X might be referred to as
    ~file:///Users/username/org-re-reveal/Readme.org~.  This file in
    GNU/Linux could be ~file:///home/username/org-re-reveal/Readme.org~,
    in Windows
    ~file:///c:/Users/username/org-re-reveal/Readme.org~.  For more
    details on this standard please refer to
    [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_URI_scheme]].

** First Try

   The library org-re-reveal needs to be loaded first.  That can happen
   either by adding ~(require 'org-re-reveal)~ to your ~.emacs~ file or
   manually: Type "M-x load-library", then "org-re-reveal".

   Now you can export this manual, ~Readme.org~, into a reveal.js
   presentation by typing "C-c C-e v v".  That key binding can be
   changed by customizing ~org-re-reveal-keys~.

   Open the generated "Readme.html" in your browser and enjoy the
   cool slides.  (Of course, the location of reveal.js must be
   configured properly, as explained earlier.)

** Configure your version of reveal.js
   :PROPERTIES:
   :CUSTOM_ID: revealjs-version
   :END:
   Org-re-reveal supports reveal.js 3.x as well as later versions
   (where versions 4.0 and 6.0 introduced breaking changes).  You can
   customize ~org-re-reveal-revealjs-version~ (or use keyword
   =#+REVEAL_VERSION=) to indicate your version.  See that variable's
   doc string for possible values.  In particular, note that the value
   4 is also correct for version 5.x (as no further
   breaking changes were introduced), while 6 indicates version 6.x
   and later (again to address breaking changes of 6.0).

   With the default value of ~nil~, org-re-reveal tries to guess your
   version, which works when ~org-re-reveal-root~ (or keyword
   =#+REVEAL_ROOT=) points to a local directory: Based on the contents
   of that directory, your version is inferred.  However, if
   ~org-re-reveal-root~ is a remote URL, this does not work.

** Error about head.min.js
   Older versions of reveal.js included an initialization file
   ~head.min.js~, which does not exist with newer versions.  If
   org-re-reveal cannot determine that you use a newer version, it
   tries to load all files of older versions.  If that leads to
   errors, customize ~org-re-reveal-revealjs-version~.

** The HLevel

   org-re-reveal maps each heading and its contents to one reveal.js
   slide. Since reveal.js arranges slides into a 2-dimensional matrix,
   org-re-reveal use a *HLevel* value to decide whether to map headings to horizontal
   or vertical slides.

   * Headings of level less than or equal to *HLevel* are mapped to horizontal
     slides.
   * Headings with a deeper level are mapped to vertical slides.

   HLevel's default value is 1, means only level 1 headings are arranged
   horizontally. Deeper headings are mapped to vertical slides below their
   parent level 1 heading.

*** HLevel's Effects on Slides Layout

    Assume we have a simple Org file as below:
#+BEGIN_SRC org
,* H1
,* H2
,** H2.1
,*** H2.1.1
,* H3
#+END_SRC

    If HLevel is 1, the default value, headings H2.1 and H2.1.1 will
    be mapped to vertical slides below the slides of heading H2.

    [[./images/hlevel.png]]

#+REVEAL: split

    If HLevel is changed to 2, slides of heading H2.1 will be changed
    to the main horizontal queue, and slides of heading H2.1.1 will be
    a vertical slide below it.

    [[./images/hlevel2.png]]

*** Configure HLevel's Value

    * Change variable =org-re-reveal-hlevel='s value to set HLevel globally.
      For example, add the following statement to your =.emacs= file.
      #+BEGIN_SRC lisp
(setq org-re-reveal-hlevel 2)
      #+END_SRC

    * Set HLevel within individual Org file with option =REVEAL_HLEVEL=:
      #+BEGIN_SRC org
,#+REVEAL_HLEVEL: 2
      #+END_SRC

** Subheadings

   If you want one slide to have its usual heading followed by a
   subheading, you can add a ~NOSLIDE~ property (and make sure that
   the subheading does not appear in the table of contents):
#+BEGIN_SRC org
,* A normal slide
,** A subheading
   :PROPERTIES:
   :UNNUMBERED: notoc
   :NOSLIDE: t
   :END:
#+END_SRC

** Images

   Add images as usual to Org documents (see above HLevel
   visualizations), with attributes (e.g., for resizing) as shown in
   the Org manual.

   For SVG images, resizing seems to be more complicated.  See
   [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/issues/86][that issue]]
   for some options.

   That issue also points to image macros with emacs-reveal (defined
   ca. line 130 in
   [[https://gitlab.com/oer/oer-reveal/-/raw/main/org/config.org][this file]],
   using meta-data for captions and license information, particularly
   suitable for OER).
   Note that those macros make use of special height specifications
   (to prevent overflowing images when the screen’s resolution is
   larger than the slide height with reveal.js).

** Force Split

   If one heading has too many things to fit into one slide, you can
   split the contents into multiple vertical slides manually, by inserting:

#+BEGIN_SRC org
,#+REVEAL: split
#+END_SRC

#+REVEAL: split data-background="#555555"

   Now, a new slide begins after the ~#+REVEAL~ keyword.

   By default, any background attributes of a slide should remain in
   effect for the split parts.  In addition, you can
   add HTML attributes after ~#+REVEAL: split~, e.g., this slide
   uses ~#+REVEAL: split data-background="#555555"~ to set a
   background color.

   Finally, ~#+REVEAL: split:t~ repeats the previous heading on the
   new slide.

** Select Theme and Transition

    Themes and transition styles are set globally throughout the whole
    file by setting options =REVEAL_THEME=, =REVEAL_TRANS=, and =REVEAL_SPEED=.

    For an example, please check the heading part of this document.
    Note that some themes access remote servers to download fonts.
    Your privacy policy should explain this.

    Available themes can be found in "css/theme/" in the reveal.js
    directory and customized via ~org-re-reveal-theme~.

    Custom themes can be selected by setting =REVEAL_THEME= to a string
    ending with ~.css~. E.g. ~#+REVEAL_THEME: /my/theme.css~.

    Available transitions can be found in the
    [[https://revealjs.com/transitions/][documentation of reveal.js]]
    and customized via ~org-re-reveal-transition~.

** Set The Title Slide
   By default, org-re-reveal generates a title slide displaying the
   title, the author, the Email, the date and the time-stamp of the
   Org document, controlled by Org's [[https://orgmode.org/org.html#Export-settings][export settings]].

   Variable ~org-re-reveal-title-slide~ determines the title slide.
   The default ~auto~ leads to a minimal title slide (with title,
   author, e-mail, date, and timestamp—if enabled by Org export
   options).

   To avoid a title slide, set variable
   ~org-re-reveal-title-slide~ to ~nil~ or add the following header line:
   ~#+REVEAL_TITLE_SLIDE:~

*** Customize the Title Slide

    To customize the title slide, set ~org-re-reveal-title-slide~
    to a string with HTML code.  Escape sequences are documented for
    variable ~org-re-reveal-title-slide~; they can be used to retrieve
    document information.  See
    [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/blob/main/test-cases/test-title-slide.org][test-title-slide.org]]
    for an example including ~REVEAL_ACADEMIC_TITLE~,
    ~REVEAL_TALK_URL~, ~REVEAL_TALK_QR_CODE~
    and
    [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/blob/main/test-cases/test-title-slide-notes.org][test-title-slide-notes.org]]
    for a title slide including speaker notes (obsolete since version
    3.25.0; see [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/blob/main/test-cases/test-title-slide-notes-2.org][test-title-slide-notes-2.org]]
    for the simpler alternative of using a notes block).

    Alternatively, you can write the title slide's HTML code
    (with escape sequences) into a separate file and
    set ~org-re-reveal-title-slide~ to the name of that file.

** Set Slide Background

   Each slide background can be set to a color, an image, or a
   repeating image array by setting heading properties.  The following
   keywords were added in support of features of reveal.js 3.x.
   Support for
   [[https://revealjs.com/backgrounds/][background images and videos of reveal.js 4]]
   (and later), is provided with [[#slide-attributes][slide attributes]].

   Keywords ~REVEAL_DEFAULT_SLIDE_BACKGROUND~,
   ~REVEAL_DEFAULT_SLIDE_BACKGROUND_OPACITY~,
   ~REVEAL_DEFAULT_SLIDE_BACKGROUND_POSITION~
   ~REVEAL_DEFAULT_SLIDE_BACKGROUND_REPEAT~,
   ~REVEAL_DEFAULT_SLIDE_BACKGROUND_SIZE~, and
   ~REVEAL_DEFAULT_SLIDE_BACKGROUND_TRANSITION~ can be used to specify
   default values for options explained subsequently for individual
   slides.

#+REVEAL: split

   Additional keywords ~REVEAL_TITLE_SLIDE_BACKGROUND~ and
   ~REVEAL_TOC_SLIDE_BACKGROUND~ as well we variants for
   position, size, etc. set those options for the title slide and the
   TOC slide (e.g., ~REVEAL_TITLE_SLIDE_BACKGROUND_POSITION~ or
   ~REVEAL_TOC_SLIDE_BACKGROUND_SIZE~).

*** Colored Background
   :PROPERTIES:
   :reveal_background: linear-gradient(to left, #910830, #521623)
   :END:

    Set property =reveal_background= to either an RGB color value, or any
    supported CSS color format.

#+BEGIN_SRC org
,*** Colored Background
   :PROPERTIES:
   :reveal_background: linear-gradient(to left, #910830, #521623)
   :END:
#+END_SRC

*** Single Image Background - Instructions

    Set property =reveal_background= to a URL of background image.
    Set property =reveal_background_trans= to =slide= to make background image
    sliding rather than fading.
#+BEGIN_SRC org
,*** Single Image Background - Result
    :PROPERTIES:
    :reveal_background: ./images/adult-education-3258944_640.jpg
    :reveal_background_trans: slide

    :PROPERTIES:
    :reveal_background: ./images/adult-education-3258944_640.jpg
    :reveal_background_trans: slide
    :END:

*** Repeating Image Background - Instructions

    Resize background image by setting property
    =reveal_background_size= to a number.

    Set property =reveal_background_repeat= to =repeat= to repeat
    image on the background.
#+BEGIN_SRC org
,*** Repeating Image Background - Result
    :PROPERTIES:
    :reveal_background: ./images/adult-education-3258944_640.jpg
    :reveal_background_size: 200px

    :END:
#+END_SRC

*** Repeating Image Background - Result
    :PROPERTIES:
    :reveal_background: ./images/adult-education-3258944_640.jpg
    :reveal_background_size: 200px
    :reveal_background_repeat: repeat
    :END:

*** Title Slide Background Image

    To set the title slide's background image, please specify the
    following options:

    * =REVEAL_TITLE_SLIDE_BACKGROUND=: A URL to the background image.
    * =REVEAL_TITLE_SLIDE_BACKGROUND_SIZE=: HTML size specification, e.g. ~200px~.
    * =REVEAL_TITLE_SLIDE_BACKGROUND_REPEAT=: set to ~repeat~ to repeat the image.

    For backgrounds on the TOC slide, replace ~TITLE~ with ~TOC~ in
    the above keywords.

*** Inherited backgrounds
    Customize ~org-use-property-inheritance~ to inherit the background
    for child headlines from a parent.

** Slide Size

   Reveal.js scales slides to best fit the display resolution, but you can
   also specify the desired size by settings the option tags =width= and =height=.

   The scaling behavior can also be constrained by setting following
   options:
   * =#+REVEAL_MARGIN:= :: a float number, the factor of empty area
        surrounding slide contents.
   * =#+REVEAL_MIN_SCALE:= :: a float number, the minimum scaling down
        ratio.
   * =#+REVEAL_MAX_SCALE:= :: a float number, the maximum scaling up
        ratio.

** Slide Numbering

   By default, the slide number is shown at the lower-right corner of each slide.

   To disable slide numbering, please add ~reveal_slide_number:nil~ to the
   ~#+OPTIONS:~ line.

   From reveal.js 3.1.0, slide numbering can have several custom
   formats. To choose one format, please set ~reveal_slide_number~ to
   its proper string. For example, ~reveal_slide_number:h/v~.

   Supported format strings can be found in the [[https://revealjs.com/slide-numbers/][reveal.js manual]].


** Slide Header/Footer
   Specify a header/footer to be used on all slides by
   =#+REVEAL_SLIDE_HEADER:= and =#+REVEAL_SLIDE_FOOTER:=.
   To set the footer for an individual slide, use
   a =REVEAL_SLIDE_FOOTER= property:
   #+begin_src org
     ,* Slide
       :PROPERTIES:
       :REVEAL_SLIDE_FOOTER: Footer
       :END:
       Text
   #+end_src

   Footer and header are put into ~div~ elements, defined by
   ~org-re-reveal-slide-header-html~ and
   ~org-re-reveal-slide-footer-html~, which set ~class~ attributes
   to =slide-header= and =slide-footer=; thus, you can
   control their appearance in custom CSS file (see [[Extra Stylesheets]]).

#+REVEAL: split
   By default, header/footer content will only display on content
   slides. To show them additionally on the title and toc slide use
   ~reveal_global_header:t~ and ~reveal_global_footer:t~ among
   ~#+OPTIONS:~.  To show the footer on the toc slide but not on
   the title slide, use option ~reveal_toc_footer:t~.

** Slide Containers
   Use =#+REVEAL_SLIDE_CONTAINER:= (~org-re-reveal-slide-container~)
   to define an HTML container element for the *contents* (excluding
   headlines) of all slides.

   Alternatively, use =#+REVEAL_SLIDE_GRID_DIV:=
   (~org-re-reveal-slide-grid-div~) to define an HTML container ~div~
   element for entire slides (including headline, contents, header,
   footer).

   See [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/blob/main/test-cases/test-slide-container.org][this slide container test case]]
   and [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/blob/main/test-cases/test-slide-grid-wrapper.org][that slide grid test case]].

** Fragmented Contents

    Make contents fragmented (show up one-by-one) by setting option
    =ATTR_REVEAL= with property ":frag frag-style", as illustrated
    below.

#+ATTR_REVEAL: :frag zoom-in
    Paragraphs can be fragmented.

#+ATTR_REVEAL: :frag zoom-in
    - Lists can
    - be fragmented.

#+ATTR_REVEAL: :frag zoom-in
    Pictures, tables and many other HTML elements can be fragmented.

*** Fragment Styles
    Available fragment styles include (see
    [[https://revealjs.com/fragments/][reveal.js documentation]]):
#+ATTR_REVEAL: :frag t
    * grow
    * shrink
    * fade-out
    * highlight-red
    * highlight-green
    * highlight-blue

    Setting ~:frag t~ will use reveal.js default fragment style, which
    can be overridden by local option ~#+REVEAL_DEFAULT_FRAG_STYLE~ or
    global variable ~org-re-reveal-default-frag-style~.

*** Fragment Index
    Fragment sequence can be changed by assigning adding ~:frag_idx~
    property to each fragmented element.

#+ATTR_REVEAL: :frag t :frag_idx 3
    And, this paragraph shows at last.

#+ATTR_REVEAL: :frag t :frag_idx 2
    This paragraph shows secondly.

#+ATTR_REVEAL: :frag t :frag_idx 1
    This paragraph shows at first.

*** List Fragments

    ~#+ATTR_REVEAL: :frag frag-style~ above a list defines fragment
    style for the list as a whole.
#+ATTR_REVEAL: :frag grow
    1. All items grow.
    2. As a whole.

    To define fragment styles for every list item, please enumerate
    each item's style in a lisp list.

    ~none~ in the style list will disable fragment for the
    corresponding list item.

    Custom fragment sequence should also be enumerated for each list
    item.

#+REVEAL: split
    An example:

#+BEGIN_SRC org
,#+ATTR_REVEAL: :frag (grow shrink zoom-in fade-out none) :frag_idx (4 3 2 1 -)
   * I will grow.
   * I will shrink.
   * I zoomed in.
   * I will fade out.
   * I don't fragment.
#+END_SRC

#+ATTR_REVEAL: :frag (grow shrink zoom-in fade-out none) :frag_idx (4 3 2 1 -)
   * I will grow.
   * I will shrink.
   * I zoomed in.
   * I will fade out.
   * I don't fragment.
#+REVEAL: split
   When there is ~:frag_idx~ specified, insufficient fragment style
   list will be extended by its last element. So a ~:frag (appear)~
   assigns each item of a list the ~appear~ fragment style (which is
   not necessary with reveal.js 4.x any more but does not hurt).
#+BEGIN_SRC org
,#+ATTR_REVEAL: :frag (appear)
   * I appear.
   * I appear.
   * I appear.
#+END_SRC
#+ATTR_REVEAL: :frag (appear)
   * I appear.
   * I appear.
   * I appear.

*** List Fragments with Audio

    You can also use org-re-reveal in combination with the
    audio-slideshow plugin of
    [[https://github.com/rajgoel/reveal.js-plugins][reveal.js-plugins]].
    For example, when the audio-slideshow plugin is configured
    properly, the following plays ~1.ogg~ when the first list item
    appears, ~2.ogg~ for the second list item, and no audio for the
    third.  (You need to add audio files to the current
    directory first—as in the
    [[https://oer.gitlab.io/emacs-reveal-howto/][emacs-reveal howto]].)

#+BEGIN_SRC org
,#+ATTR_REVEAL: :frag (appear) :audio (1.ogg 2.ogg none)
   * I appear with audio 1.ogg.
   * I appear with audio 2.ogg.
   * I appear without audio.
#+END_SRC

#+ATTR_REVEAL: :frag (appear) :audio (1.ogg 2.ogg none)
   * I appear with audio 1.ogg.
   * I appear with audio 2.ogg.
   * I appear without audio.

** Data State and Classes for Headlines and Slides, including generated ones
   :PROPERTIES:
   :reveal_data_state: alert
   :END:

   Set property =reveal_data_state= to a headline to change this
   slide's display style.  (In the past, ~reveal.min.css~ defined
   classes ~alert~, ~blackout~, ~soothe~, which were activated by the
   data state.)  In any case, property =reveal_data_state= adds a
   ~data-state~ attribute to the slide's ~section~ element, which is
   called “Slide State” by reveal.js; this might also be useful with
   reveal.js plugins.

#+REVEAL: split
   To add a ~data-state~ attribute to a generated title slide or
   table of contents slide, you can use the following options:

   * =REVEAL_TITLE_SLIDE_STATE=
   * =REVEAL_TOC_SLIDE_STATE=

   To add a ~class~ attribute to a ~section~ element, use
   [[#slide-attributes][Extra Slide Attributes]]
   (e.g., property ~:reveal_extra_attr: class="my-class"~).

   To add a ~class~ attribute to the ~section~ element of a generated
   table of contents slide, you can use the option
   =REVEAL_TOC_SLIDE_CLASS=.

   To add a ~class~ attribute to a slide's ~h~-element, add property
   =html_headline_class= to the headline.


** Activate Plugins

   Set option =REVEAL_PLUGINS= or variable =org-re-reveal-plugins= to a
   lisp list to activate additional reveal.js functionality.

   Variable =org-re-reveal-plugins= allows the selection of available plugins.

   The following example selects /markdown/, /highlight/, and /search/.
#+BEGIN_SRC org
,#+REVEAL_PLUGINS: (markdown highlight search)
#+END_SRC

*** External plugins
    :PROPERTIES:
    :CUSTOM_ID: external-plugins
    :END:
    Starting with version 3.4.0 of org-re-reveal and reveal.js version
    4, you can use keyword ~REVEAL_ADD_PLUGIN~ to enable external
    plugins (which you need to install yourself).  E.g., copy the
    directory of the
    [[https://github.com/rajgoel/reveal.js-plugins/tree/main/chalkboard][Chalkboard plugin]]
    to the plugin directory of reveal.js; then activate the
    plugin as follows, where ~chalkboard~ is an internal name,
    ~RevealChalkboard~ is the JavaScript name of the plugin, and
    ~plugin/chalkboard/plugin.js~ is the path with code for the
    plugin (a CDN URL works as well):
#+BEGIN_SRC org
,#+REVEAL_ADD_PLUGIN: chalkboard RevealChalkboard plugin/chalkboard/plugin.js
#+END_SRC
    See also
    [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/blob/main/test-cases/test-plugin-css.org][this
    test file for CSS with plugins]]


*** Plugin configuration
    :PROPERTIES:
    :CUSTOM_ID: plugin-config
    :END:
    Starting with version 3 of org-re-reveal, which supports reveal.js
    4, you can customize ~org-re-reveal-plugin-config~ to enable
    additional plugins.  For reveal.js 6.0 and later, use
    ~org-re-reveal-plugin-6-config~.

    As an alternative to external plugin
    configuration shown on the previous slide, you can also add
    ~(chalkboard "RevealChalkboard" "plugin/chalkboard/plugin.js")~ to
    ~org-re-reveal-plugin-config~ (or to ~org-re-reveal-plugin-6-config~),
    e.g., with that line in your ~.emacs~:
#+BEGIN_SRC org
(add-to-list 'org-re-reveal-plugin-config '(chalkboard "RevealChalkboard" "plugin/chalkboard/plugin.js"))
#+END_SRC

    Then, activate the plugin in your presentation:
#+BEGIN_SRC org
,#+REVEAL_PLUGINS: (chalkboard highlight search)
#+END_SRC

** Third-Party Plugins
   Plugins were initialized differently before version 4 of reveal.js.
   Several plugins are included and
   configured with [[https://gitlab.com/oer/emacs-reveal][emacs-reveal]].

#+REVEAL: split

   In addition to [[#plugin-config][plugin configuration]] described
   above, you can customize JavaScript loading code for plugins with
   variable ~org-re-reveal-external-plugins~.  This variable can be an
   associative list or a filename.  If it is an associative list, the
   first element of each Assoc cell is a symbol -- the name of the
   plugin -- and the second is a string that will be expanded by the
   ~format~ function when the plugin is loaded.  So, this second
   element should have the form:

   ~" {src: \"%srelative/path/toplugin/from/reveal/root.js\"}"~

   If you need the async or callback parameters, include those too.

#+REVEAL: split

   If ~org-re-reveal-external-plugins~ is a filename, that file must
   contain strings of the above format, one per line (without names of
   plugins, just the ~src~ information embedded in braces); this can
   also be configured within your Org presentation with a line like
   this:

=#+REVEAL_EXTERNAL_PLUGINS: external_plugins.js=

   In any case, org-re-reveal will add the plugins to the dependencies
   parameter when Reveal.js is initialized.


** Highlight Source Code

   There are three options to highlight source code (or not), see doc
   string of customizable variable ~org-re-reveal-no-htmlize-src~.
   1. Use your Emacs theme with ~htmlize.el~
   2. Use highlight.js
   3. Disable htmlize with above variable, enable on selected source
      code blocks

   To use your Emacs theme, please make sure ~htmlize.el~ is
   installed. Then no more setup is necessary.

   If indentation is wrong, maybe set variable =org-html-indent=
   to =nil= and/or =org-src-preserve-indentation= to =t=.  Then export again.

*** Using highlight.js

    You can also use [[https://highlightjs.org][highlight.js]], by adding ~highlight~ to the reveal.js
    plugin list.
    #+BEGIN_SRC org
      ,#+REVEAL_PLUGINS: (highlight)
    #+END_SRC

    The default highlighting theme is ~zenburn.css~ brought with
    reveal.js. To use other themes, please specify the CSS file name by
    ~#+REVEAL_HIGHLIGHT_CSS~ or the variable ~org-re-reveal-highlight-css~.

    A ~%r~ in the given CSS file name is replaced by the root
    directory of reveal.js.

#+REVEAL: split

    If you use highlight.js, org-re-reveal exports the source code
    inside an HTML ~code~ element, to which you can assign attributes
    ([[https://revealjs.com/code/][understood by reveal.js]]) with
    ~code_attribs~, e.g., add line numbers and highlight lines 1 and 5:
    ~#+ATTR_REVEAL: :code_attribs data-line-numbers="1,5"~

    To assign attributes to the surrounding ~pre~ element, use
    ~#+ATTR_HTML~, e.g.: ~#+ATTR_HTML: :data-id id1~

    See also
    [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/issues/101][issue #101]]
    for auto-animated code blocks.


#+MACRO: klipse-languages (eval (message "%s" (mapconcat #'identity org-re-reveal-klipse-languages ", ")))
** Editable and Executable Source Code
   Thanks to [[https://github.com/viebel/klipse][klipse]], it is
   possible to embed code blocks in CodeMirror instance in order to
   edit and execute code during a presentation.  Note that klipse
   support has been rewritten in org-re-reveal 1.1.11.  Previously,
   code was displayed in iframes, which does not allow sharing state
   between different pieces of code; in particular, SQL did not work
   (see [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/issues/23][this issue]]).

   Now, without iframes, some CSS settings of klipse and reveal.js are
   in conflict.  In particular, scaling needs to be disabled with
   klipse.  See settings of this Readme and examples in the Tips
   section under [[Executable Source Blocks]] as well as that
   [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/blob/main/test-cases/test-klipsify.org][test file]]
   to get started.

   At present code editing is supported in: {{{klipse-languages}}}

** Using Footnotes
  :PROPERTIES:
  :CUSTOM_ID: footnotes
  :END:
  - Use footnotes as usual
  - Two options
    1. Add a slide “Footnotes”, where all footnotes are collected (see [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/blob/main/test-cases/test-footnotes.org][test-footnotes.org]])
    2. Use startup option ~fnlocal~ to create footnote directly on slide (see [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/blob/main/test-cases/test-footnotes-local.org][test-footnotes-local.org]])

** MathJax
  :PROPERTIES:
  :CUSTOM_ID: my-heading
  :END:

   ${n! \over k!(n-k)!} = {n \choose k}$

   LaTeX equations are rendered in native HTML5 contents.

   *IMPORTANT*: Displaying equations requires an internet connection
   to load JavaScript or a local MathJax installation.

   If you use MathJax from a remote location, your privacy policy
   should explain this.

   As explained next, two options exist to activate MathJax.

*** Use MathJax
    Two alternatives exist.

    1. Reveal.js added the ~math~ plugin in version 4.  Add that to
       ~org-re-reveal-plugins~.
    2. If org-re-reveal detects LaTeX math code and the ~math~ plugin
       is not used, a ~script~ element loads the MathJax library.  Set
       option =REVEAL_MATHJAX_URL= to a remote or local MathJax
       location (if you are not happy with the default value of
       ~org-re-reveal-mathjax-url~).

*** Configuration of MathJax
    The [[https://revealjs.com/math/][Reveal.js documentation]]
    explains how to configure MathJax with the ~math~ plugin.

    If you do not use the ~math~ plugin, you may
    [[http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/options/output/chtml.html][configure MathJax]],
    with =REVEAL_HEAD_PREAMBLE= (that keyword and related ones
    are documented on subsequent slides).

    #+BEGIN_SRC org
      ,#+REVEAL_HEAD_PREAMBLE: <script>MathJax = { chtml: {scale: 0.85} };</script>
    #+END_SRC

** Preamble and Postamble

   You can define preamble and postamble contents which will not be
   shown as slides, but will be exported into the body part of the
   generated HTML file, at just before and after the slide contents.

   All pre- and postamble contents are treated as format strings, with
   %-sequences of =org-re-reveal-title-slide=.  In particular, single
   percent signs need to be escaped (two percent signs).

   Change preamble and postamble contents globally by setting variable
   =org-re-reveal-preamble= and =org-re-reveal-postamble=.

   Change preamble and postamble contents locally by setting options
   =REVEAL_PREAMBLE= and =REVEAL_POSTAMBLE=, as illustrated at the
   heading part of this document.

*** Preamble in =<head>= element
    To add custom contents into the HTML =<head>= element, set
    variable =org-re-reveal-head-preamble= or option
    =REVEAL_HEAD_PREAMBLE=.

*** Postscript after reveal.js initialization
    To add a script (or HTML code) at the end of the generated
    document (just before the closing ~body~ tag), use
    =REVEAL_POSTSCRIPT= or variable =org-re-reveal-postscript=.

*** Generating Pre/Postamble by Emacs-Lisp Functions

    If the contents of pre/postamble is the name of an evaluated
    Emacs-Lisp function, which must accept an argument of Org mode
    info and return a string, the returned string will be taken
    as pre/postamble contents.

    So you can embed the Emacs-Lisp function as an Org Babel source
    block and mark it to be evaluated when exporting the document.

** Raw HTML in Slides

   Besides the Org contents, you can embed raw HTML contents
   into slides by placing a =#+REVEAL_HTML= keyword.

   A talk by Linus Torvalds on Git (the source code to embed that
   video makes use of attribute ~data-src~ for lazy loading of the
   video):
   #+REVEAL_HTML: <video controls width="400" height="300" data-src="https://archive.org/download/LinusTorvaldsOnGittechTalk/LinusTorvaldsOnGittechTalk.ogv"></video>

** Speaker Notes
   Reveal.js supports [[https://revealjs.com/speaker-view/][speaker notes]],
   which are displayed in a separate browser window.  Press 's' to
   open a popup window that displays the current slide with its
   speaker notes, a timer, and a preview of upcoming contents.
   (You need to enable popup windows in your browser.  If the popup
   window appears but does not work properly, try this: close the
   popup window, then press 's' again.)

   To configure timing, see ~org-re-reveal-defaulttiming~ and
   ~org-re-reveal-totaltime~.  The following example shows how to
   define speaker notes for a slide with an estimated talk time of
   120s.

#+REVEAL: split

#+BEGIN_SRC org
,* Heading 1
   :PROPERTIES:
   :reveal_extra_attr: data-timing="120"
   :END:
   Some contents.
,#+BEGIN_NOTES
  Enter speaker notes here.
  - With /markup/ and bullet points
    - If necessary
,#+END_NOTES
#+END_SRC

#+REVEAL: split
   Speaker note functionality requires that ~notes~ is configured as
   plugin (which is true by default with ~org-re-reveal-plugins~) and
   that popup windows are permitted.

   Due to a bug in reveal.js, sometimes the speaker notes window does
   not initialize properly.  As workaround, close the speaker notes
   windows and press ’s’ again; notes should be working then.
   If this does not work, you may need to put the presentation HTML
   file into the reveal.js root directory and reopen it in the browser.

#+REVEAL: split
   Besides, reveal.js has a configuration option ~showNotes~, which
   allows to show the notes during the presentation.
   Customize ~org-re-reveal-show-notes~ or use the option
   ~reveal_show_notes~ to enable this option.

*** Easy-Template for Speaker Notes

    Org-re-reveal registers 'n' as key for the speaker notes template:
    You can press '<' followed by 'n' and then press TAB, which
    inserts ~#+begin_notes~ and ~#+end_notes~.  For this to work with
    Org version 9.2 or newer, you need to place ~(require 'org-tempo)~
    into your ~.emacs~ or add ~org-tempo~ to ~org-modules~.  (Besides,
    function ~org-insert-structure-template~ allows the insertion of
    different kinds of block structures.)

    Customize ~org-re-reveal-note-key-char~ to change the default key
    'n'.  Set to nil to avoid auto-completion for speaker notes.

*** PDF Export of Speaker Notes

    To export speaker notes to PDF (with ~?print-pdf~ after ~.html~, see
    [[https://revealjs.com/pdf-export/]]), customize
    ~org-re-reveal-export-notes-to-pdf~ or use the keyword
    ~REVEAL_EXPORT_NOTES_TO_PDF~ with the string ~separate-page~.

*** Text-To-Speech (TTS) for Speaker Notes
    Version 3.19.0 of org-re-reveal introduces support for TTS, which
    is complemented by functionality in emacs-reveal.

    Briefly, org-re-reveal can export notes from presentations to text
    files, from which audio files can be generated (e.g., with
    emacs-reveal).  The
    [[https://github.com/rajgoel/reveal.js-plugins/tree/main/audio-slideshow][audio-slideshow plugin]]
    can then play generated audio.  The result can serve as video mode for
    presentations, without the hassle of audio recording/cutting (and
    with the usual usability advantages of reveal.js presentations
    over videos).

    See variable ~org-re-reveal-with-tts~, whose doc string points to
    [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/blob/main/test-cases/test-notes-for-tts.org][this sample presentation]]
    and this [[https://oer.gitlab.io/emacs-reveal-howto/tts-howto.html][TTS howto]]
    for emacs-reveal, both of which document various aspects of the
    TTS process.

    If you do not want to use emacs-reveal (or its Docker images),
    [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/issues/92#note_1710604946][the script in that comment]]
    may help you getting started.

** Multiplexing
   Reveal.js supports [[https://github.com/reveal/multiplex][multiplexing]],
   which allows your audience to view
   the slides of the presentation you are controlling on their own phone, tablet
   or laptop.  As the main presentation navigates the slides, all client
   presentations will update in real time.

   Please see
   [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/blob/main/test-cases/test-multiplex.org][this sample presentation for instructions]].
   Briefly, you need to configure ~multiplex~ as plugin, with
   URL, ID and Secret of a socket.io server.  Then, generate main
   (with Secret) and client presentations and publish the client
   presentation for your audience.  Customize
   ~org-re-reveal-multiplex-client-ext~ to influence the name of the
   client presentation.  Maybe customize ~org-re-reveal-multiplex-js-url~
   ([[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/issues/98][see this issue]]).

** Extra Stylesheets

   Add stylesheet file path (or remote URL) with =REVEAL_EXTRA_CSS= in
   order to load extra custom styles after loading a theme.
   This keyword can be used multiple times.

#+BEGIN_SRC org
,#+REVEAL_EXTRA_CSS: url-to-custom-stylesheet.css
#+END_SRC

** Extra JavaScript Libraries

   Set =REVEAL_EXTRA_SCRIPTS= to a list of extra JavaScript
   libraries of script elements.
#+BEGIN_SRC org
,#+REVEAL_EXTRA_SCRIPTS: ("filename.js" "<script>Your code here\n</script>")
#+END_SRC

** Extra Slide Attributes
   :PROPERTIES:
   :CUSTOM_ID: slide-attributes
   :END:

   Set =REVEAL_EXTRA_ATTR= to add any additional attributes to all slides if
   required (such attributes are added to ~section~ elements).
#+BEGIN_SRC org
,#+REVEAL_EXTRA_ATTR: data-autoslide=20000
#+END_SRC

   This global default value can also be overridden per heading by setting
   a =reveal_extra_attr= property on the heading:
#+BEGIN_SRC org
,*** Heading with overriden autoslide
   :PROPERTIES:
   :reveal_extra_attr: data-autoslide=10000
   :END:
#+END_SRC

#+REVEAL: split
   In particular, extra attributes allow to configure
   [[https://revealjs.com/backgrounds/][slide backgrounds of reveal.js]]
   such as images and videos, e.g.:
#+BEGIN_SRC org
,* Headline
  :PROPERTIES:
  :reveal_extra_attr: data-background-video="https://static.slid.es/site/homepage/v1/homepage-video-editor.mp4" data-background-video-loop data-background-video-muted
  :END:
#+END_SRC

  Use keyword ~REVEAL_TITLE_SLIDE_EXTRA_ATTR~ to add extra attributes
  to the title slide.

** Export into Single File

   By setting option =reveal_single_file= (or variable
   =org-re-reveal-single-file=) to ~t~, images and basic reveal.js
   scripts are embedded into the exported HTML file, to create a
   self-contained, portable HTML.  Please note that remote images
   cannot be used with single-file export (maybe
   ~reveal_embed_local_resources~ does what you want then, see below).

   Attention: This needs locally available reveal.js files (no CDN
   files)!  [[#revealjs-location][Instructions to set location of reveal.js.]].

   #+BEGIN_SRC org
   ,#+OPTIONS: reveal_single_file:t
   #+END_SRC

#+REVEAL: split

   *Limitations* of single file export
   * Some functions provided by reveal.js libraries will be
     *disabled*, including PDF export.  With reveal.js 3.x, all
     plugins are disabled, while with reveal.js 4 and later, those in
     ~org-re-reveal-plugin-config~ and ~org-re-reveal-plugin-6-config~
     should still work.
     * Code highlighting by Emacs works in any case.
   * Plugins are *not* enabled.
   * CSS needs to be *self-contained*.  Neither ~@import~ rules nor
     other forms of URLs work (images need to be embedded as
     data URIs).
   * If you use ~org-re-reveal-title-slide~ with custom HTML code and
     images, you need to embed images in the form of data URIs
     yourself.

#+REVEAL: split
   Option ~reveal_embed_local_resources~ provides an alternative to
   ~reveal_single_file~: Here, local resources are embedded if
   possible.  Where the export with ~reveal_single_file~ would fail,
   it continues with given (potentially remote) resources.

   See [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/issues/66][this issue]]
   for a use case.

** Export Current Subtree

  Use menu entry "C-c C-e v s" to export only current subtree,
  without the title slide and the table of content, for a quick preview
  of your current edition.

  Customize ~org-re-reveal-subtree-with-title-slide~ to also export a
  title slide.

* Tips

** En-/Disable Heading Numbers

   Use Org export option =num=, e.g., =num:t= or =num:nil=:
#+BEGIN_SRC org
,#+OPTIONS: num:nil
#+END_SRC

   With heading numbers (i.e., without ~num:nil~), depending on
   ~org-re-reveal-generate-custom-ids~, (more) stable slide IDs can be
   generated (instead of hash values that change with content
   changes).  See doc string (~C-h v~) of variable
   ~org-re-reveal-generate-custom-ids~ for more details.

** Disable Table of Contents

   Add =toc:nil= to =#+OPTIONS= to disable the table of contents:
#+BEGIN_SRC org
,#+OPTIONS: toc:nil
#+END_SRC

   This is actually an option recognized by =org-export=.

** Table of Contents at Specified Position
   When using option =toc:nil=, you can also insert a slide with the table
   of contents at a position of your choice with keyword =REVEAL_TOC=
   (where the number after =headlines= defines the depth of headlines
   to include) in a section of its own (see this
   [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/blob/main/test-cases/test-slide-numbers-reveal-toc.org][test file]]):

#+BEGIN_SRC org
,** Table of Contents
   :PROPERTIES:
   :UNNUMBERED: notoc
   :END:
,#+REVEAL_TOC: headlines 1
#+END_SRC

*WARNING:* Previous versions of org-re-reveal used keyword =TOC= (which
generates the table of contents in a section with default headline)
instead of =REVEAL_TOC=.  Keyword =TOC= may or may not work for you.
Its use is discouraged as it may break some presentations.

** Internal Links

   Reveal.js only supports jumps to entire slides, but not to specific
   elements on slides. Thus, we can only link to headlines in an Org
   document.

   You can create links pointing to a headline's text, or its
   custom-id, as in the examples below:

   * [[Tips]].
   * [[#my-heading][Heading]] with a =CUSTOM_ID= property.

#+REVEAL: split
   If you add =reveal_inter_presentation_links:t= to =#+OPTIONS=, such
   links also work between presentations on the same server, e.g.,
   =[[file:somefile.org::#anchor][link text]]=.

   Reveal.js [[https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js#internal-links][advertises]]
   to use broken internal links, which are used in org-re-reveal by
   default.  (Those links work with reveal.js, but are not understood
   by search engines.)  If you change ~org-re-reveal--href-fragment-prefix~
   from its default to the value of ~org-re-reveal--slide-id-prefix~,
   valid links are generated:
   #+BEGIN_SRC lisp
   (setq org-re-reveal--href-fragment-prefix org-re-reveal--slide-id-prefix)
   #+END_SRC
   Whether this change is a good idea might be discussed under this
   [[https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js/issues/2276][reveal.js issue]].

** Custom JS

   To pass custom JS code to ~Reveal.initialize~, state the code by
   ~#+REVEAL_INIT_SCRIPT~ (multiple statements are concatenated) or by
   custom variable ~org-re-reveal-init-script~.

** Executable Source Blocks
   To allow live execution of code in some languages, enable the
   klipse plugin
   with variable ~org-re-reveal-klipsify-src~ (or with option ~reveal_klipsify_src:t~)

   Src blocks with the languages contained in
   ~org-re-reveal-klipse-setup~ will be executed with output shown in
   a console-like environment.  See
   [[https://github.com/viebel/klipse#klipse][the README of klipse]]
   for more details.

   Additional examples (e.g., Python and SQL) can be found in a
   [[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/blob/main/test-cases/test-klipsify.org][test file]].

*** HTML Src Block
#+BEGIN_SRC html
<h1 class="whatever">hello, what's your name</h1>
#+END_SRC

*** Javascript Src Block
#+BEGIN_SRC js
console.log("success");
var x='string using single quote';
x
#+END_SRC

*** Perl Src Block (not klipsified)
#+BEGIN_SRC perl
I don't know perl!
#+END_SRC

** Multiple columns
If you need multiple columns (in multi-column slide layouts),
[[https://gitlab.com/oer/org-re-reveal/-/issues/88][that issue]]
demonstrates how to use grid layouts with ~div~ wrappers.

Alternatively, with
[[https://gitlab.com/oer/emacs-reveal][emacs-reveal]],
a special environment is available for left and right columns, see its
[[https://gitlab.com/oer/emacs-reveal-howto/-/blob/main/howto.org][howto]]
for an example.
