Hovercraft is a tool to make impress.js presentations from reStructuredText.
Hovercraft’s power comes from the combination of reStructuredText’s convenience with the cool of impress.js, together with a flexible and powerful solution to position the slides.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Write presentations in a text markup language. No slow, limiting GUI, no annoying HTML.
- Pan, rotate and zoom in 3D, with automatic repositioning of slides.
- A presenter console with notes and slide previews.
- Support for showing mathematical formulas.
- Styling is easy with CSS.
- The slide show generated is in HTML, so you only need a web browser to show it.
- Easy sharing, as it can be put up on a website for anyone to see.
