There is already a defacto standard for presentations, why this plugin? This plugin makes sense for organizations that do already have lots of content in TWiki: It is easy to create a web based presentation that contains many links to related content. The plugin does not try to compete with the bells and whistles of the other presentation program, but compelling interactive presentations can be made using the TML (TWiki Markup Language) and plugins, such as TWiki:Plugins.ChartPlugin, TWiki:Plugins.GaugePlugin
, TWiki:Plugins.SpreadSheetPlugin
, TWiki:Plugins.TWikiDrawPlugin
.
Any topic with headings can be converted into a slideshow. Each slide starts with a "---++"
heading. There are two modes to view a topic:
You can start the presentation by clicking on the "Start presentation" button.
While in presentation mode you can move around slides using navigation buttons and keys:
Button | Key | Action |
---|---|---|
![]() |
Home | Go to first slide |
![]() |
Left-arrow, Page-up | Go to previous slide |
![]() |
Right-arrow, Page-down | Go to next slide |
![]() |
End | Go to last slide |
![]() |
Esc | End presentation |
Slide navigation is quick because it is done using anchor jumps within the same page. Key-based navigation requires JavaScript enabled.
%SLIDESHOWSTART%
template
parameter to specify your own slide template topic, e.g. %SLIDESHOWSTART{ template="MyOwnSlideTemplate" }%
"---++"
heading and add text like paragraphs, bullets, tables and images. %SLIDESHOWEND%
The %SLIDESHOWSTART%
renders as a button. This is the default way to link to the slideshow.
Slides have anchors names Slide_1
, Slide_2
, Slide_3
, etc. For example, write [[#Slide_3][Silly Introduction]]
to link to slide 3 of the presentation on the current topic in page view mode, which renders as Silly Introduction.
Write [[%SCRIPTURL{view}%/%WEB%/%TOPIC%?slideshow=on;skin=print#Slide_3][Silly Introduction]]
to link to a specific slide in presentation mode, which renders as Silly Introduction.
To create your own template topic, copy the "Default Slide Template" section below into your own slide template topic and customize it to your needs. It can be activated as the default template in the plugin's TEMPLATE
setting, or per slideshow with the %SLIDESHOWSTART{ template="MyOwnSlideTemplate" }%
setting.
Keyword | What it means |
---|---|
%SLIDETITLE% | The heading of the slide |
%SLIDETEXT% | The text of the slide |
%SLIDECOMMENT% | The comment of the slide (optional; appended to slide of missing) |
%SLIDENUM% | The current slide number |
%SLIDEMAX% | The last slide number |
%SLIDENAV% | The navigation buttons for "First", "Previous", "Next" slide |
%SLIDENAVALL% | The navigation buttons for "First", "Previous", "Next", "Last" slide |
%SLIDENAVFIRST% | The navigation button for "First slide" |
%SLIDENAVPREV% | The navigation button for "Previous slide" |
%SLIDENAVNEXT% | The navigation button for "Next slide" |
%SLIDENAVLAST% | The navigation button for "Last slide" |
%STARTINCLUDE%
and %STOPINCLUDE%
is used for the template.
This is a short example of a slideshow. You should see a "Start presentation" button if this plugin is installed:
