NAME Vroom::Vroom - Slide Shows in Vim SYNOPSIS > vim slides.vroom # Write Some Slides > vroom --vroom # Show Your Slides DESCRIPTION Ever given a Slide Show and needed to switch over to the shell? Now you don't ever have to switch again. You're already there. Vroom lets you create your slides in a single file using a Wiki-like style, much like Spork and Sporx do. The difference is that your slides don't compile to HTML or JavaScript or XUL. They get turned into a set of files that begin with '0', like '03' or '07c' or '05b.pl'. The slides are named in alpha order. That means you can bring them all into a Vim session with the command: "vim 0*". "vroom --vroom" does exactly that. Vroom creates a file called "./.vimrc" with many helpful key mappings for navigating a slideshow. See "KEY MAPPINGS" below. Please note that you will need the following line in your "$HOME/.vimrc" file in order to pickup the local ".vimrc" file. Vroom takes advantage of Vim's syntax highlighting. It also lets you run slides that contain code. Since Vim is an editor, you can change your slides during the show. COMMAND USAGE Vroom has a few command line options: vroom Just running vroom will compiles 'slides.vroom' into slide files. vroom --vroom Compile and start vim show. vroom --clean Clean up all the compiled output files. INPUT FORMAT Here is an example slides.vroom file: ---- config # These are YAML settings for Vroom title: My Spiffy Slideshow height: 84 width: 20 # skip: 12 # Skip 12 slides. Useful when making slides. ---- center My Presentation by Ingy ---- == Stuff I care about: * Foo +* Bar +* Baz ---- perl,i10 # Perl code indented 10 spaces use Vroom::Vroom; print "Hello World"; ---- center THE END KEY MAPPINGS Advance one slide. Go back one slide. Run current slide as Perl. Quit Vroom. NOTE Vroom is called Vroom but the module is Vroom::Vroom because the CPAN shell sometimes thinks Vroom is Tim Vroom, and it refuses to install him. Use a shell command like this to install Vroom: sudo cpan Vroom::Vroom AUTHOR Ingy döt Net COPYRIGHT Copyright (c) 2008. Ingy döt Net.
