Description: # pyradium
        [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.com/johndoe31415/pyradium.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.com/johndoe31415/pyradium)
        
        This is a complete rewrite of a presentation rendering tool I've originally
        started in 2015. It is incorporating features of LaTeX-Beamer which I like into a renderer that outputs HTML. In particular, the design goals were:
        
          * Input the slide content in machine-readable form, no WYSIWYG. This is like
            latex-beamer, but I'm using XML as input files.
          * Have functionality like acronyms, automatic table of contents,
            cross-references, equations. This is also like LaTeX.
          * Output to a format that anyone can style: HTML and CSS. New slide templates
            should be easy to create (e.g., a three-column design or a "quote" slide
            template).
          * Use the advantages of HTML to provide new features, like instant feedback:
            I want people to tell me typos and general feedback about my presentation
            and want to make submission of that info as easy as possible (low entry
            barrier). Also it should record which git revsion was used to typeset the
            document so I know exactly if I've already fixed an issue or not if it gets
            reported multiple times.
        
        ## Name
        pyradium has been previously known as pybeamer, but has been renamed because a
        different project under that name exists on PyPi.
        
        ## Example
        You can view an example of a presentation [here](https://johndoe31415.github.io/pyradium/).
        The source for that presentation can be found [here](https://github.com/johndoe31415/pyradium/tree/master/examples).
        
        ## Usage
        All features that have been mentioned above are implemented by pyradium. You
        can see an example file in the [examples/ subdirectory](https://github.com/johndoe31415/pyradium/tree/master/examples).
        XML namespaces are used to distinguish tags which are renderer commands, i.e.,
        which have some special interpretation.  All other content is essentially pure
        HTML.
        
        ## Display
        You can view the presentation in a browser. Hitting "g" lets you goto a
        specific slide while pressing "f" starts the full-screen view. Note that the
        full-screen view uses [the CSS "zoom" property](https://caniuse.com/?search=zoom)
        which is supported by pretty much every browser except for Firefox. On Firefox,
        you can still full-screen a presentation but have to zoom manually in. There exists
        a more than a decade old Firefox [issue for this](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=390936)
        but it appears that this is deliberately not implemented.
        
        ## Third-Party Components
        There are three external components that pyradium uses:
        
          * The default template "Antonio" is adapted from
            [Jimena Catalina at SlideCarnival](https://www.slidescarnival.com/antonio-free-presentation-template/84).
            It is licensed under CC-BY 4.0.
          * The font Fira Sans is included, from the [Google Fonts Project](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Fira+Sans). 
            It is licensed under the OFL.
          * The font Latin Modern Mono is included, from [GUST](http://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry/latin-modern).
            It is licensed under the GUST font license.
        
        All third party licenses can be found in the [licenses/ subdirectory](https://github.com/johndoe31415/pyradium/tree/master/licenses)
        subdirectory. Additionally, detailed attribution information is also provided
        as part of the template itself in the `configuration.json` file of the
        respective template. For example, [this](https://github.com/johndoe31415/pyradium/blob/master/pyradium/templates/antonio/configuration.json)
        is the configuration file of the "antonio" template.
        
        ## Simple Usage
        First, you have to create a presentation. For this example, we'll use the
        `example.xml` that is provided. Firstly, it needs to be rendered:
        
        ```
        $ ./pyradium.py render -I examples/sub/ examples/example.xml rendered/
        ```
        
        You'll notice that the `-I` parameter defines a subdirectory that is searched
        for files. This is a feature of pyradium as well (it allows you to distribute
        and organize large presentation into multiple files you can then combine into
        one). Once it's rendered, you can create a web server to serve it:
        
        ```
        $ ./pyradium.py serve rendered/
        Serving: http://127.0.0.1:8123
        ```
        
        Now simply redirect your browser there and enjoy the view.
        
        ## Complex Usage
        There are of course more options to choose from. Read the help pages to learn
        more. To get an overview over the available facilities:
        
        ```
        $ ./pyradium.py
        Syntax: ./pyradium.py [command] [options]
        
        Available commands:
        
        version: pyradium v0.0.4
        
        Options vary from command to command. To receive further info, type
            ./pyradium.py [command] --help
            render             Render a slide show
            serve              Serve a slide show as HTTP
            acrosort           Sort an acryonym database
            purge              Purge the document cache
        ```
        
        Each facility has its own help page. The `render` facility, for example:
        
        ```
        $ ./pyradium.py render --help
        usage: ./pyradium.py render [--image-max-dimension pixels] [-I path]
                                    [--template-dir path] [-t name]
                                    [-g width x height] [-r] [--collapse-animation]
                                    [-i filename] [-m {interactive,static}]
                                    [-F {timer}] [-l] [--re-render-watch path] [-f]
                                    [-v] [--help]
                                    infile outdir
        
        Render a slide show
        
        positional arguments:
          infile                Input XML file of the slide show.
          outdir                Output directory the presentation is put into.
        
        optional arguments:
          --image-max-dimension pixels
                                When rendering imaages, specifies the maximum
                                dimension they're downsized to. The lower this value,
                                the smaller the output files and the lower the
                                quality. Defaults to 1920 pixels.
          -I path, --include-dir path
                                Specifies an additional include directory in which,
                                for example, images are located which are referenced
                                from the presentation. Can be issued multiple times.
          --template-dir path   Specifies an additional template directories in which
                                template style files are located. Can be issued
                                multiple times.
          -t name, --template-style name
                                Template style to use. Defaults to antonio.
          -g width x height, --geometry width x height
                                Slide geometry, in pixels. Defaults to 1280x720.
          -r, --remove-pauses   Ignore all pause directives and just render the final
                                slides.
          --collapse-animation  Do not render animations as multiple slides, just show
                                one complete slide.
          -i filename, --index-filename filename
                                Gives the name of the presentation index file.
                                Defaults to index.html. Useful if you want to render
                                multiple presentations in one subdirectory.
          -m {interactive,static}, --presentation-mode {interactive,static}
                                Generate this type of presentation. Can be one of
                                None, defaults to interactive.
          -F {timer}, --presentation-feature {timer}
                                Enable a specific presentation feature. Can be one of
                                None and can be given multiple times.
          -l, --re-render-loop  Stay in a continuous loop, re-rendering the
                                presentation if anything changes.
          --re-render-watch path
                                By default, all include files and the template
                                directory is being watched for changes. This option
                                gives additional files or directories upon change of
                                which the presentation should be re-rendered.
          -f, --force           Overwrite files in destination directory if they
                                already exist.
          -v, --verbose         Increase verbosity. Can be specified more than once.
