Installation, configuration

nice explanation from Mark Roekpe's blog

Slide is a native function from Jupyter (through nbconvert). However one can install RISE to get some additional features.

conda install -c conda-forge rise

pip install RISE

And then for each cell I can decide if I want:

  • slide - indicates that the selected cell should be the start of a new slide
  • sub-slide - indicates that the selected cell should be the start of a new sub-slide, which appears in a new frame beneath the previous slide
  • fragment - indicates that the selected cell should appear as a build to the previous slide
  • skip - indicates that the selected cell should be skipped and not be a part of the slideshow
  • notes - indicates that the selected cell should just be presenter notes
  • - - indicates that the selected cell should follow the behavior of the previous cell, which is useful when a markdown cell and a code cell should appear simultaneously

Slides are structured this way. To progress we can go right (for new slides) or bottom (for sub-slides).

And we can decide to have new pages (slides / sub-slides) or new fragment in the same page (fragment).

Run slides

We can launch slideshow with RISE button (or Alt-R)

Or we can serve pages through nbconvert:

jupyter nbconvert my_notebook.ipynb --to slides --post serve

!jupyter nbconvert 2021-06-25-slide-show-jupyter.ipynb --to slides --post serve

tips from Mark Roekpe's blog. Valid mainly for RISE.

  • splicell
  • hide code from slideshow
  • custom css
  • open slides automatically
