Obsidian Talks Voting Post - Which talks do you want to hear?

[argentum]

I have created a thread to collect requests and questions for the Zotero 101 talk:

@argentum

I have roughly sketched out a table of contents of what I could present in the Zotero 101 talk, but I’d like to use this thread to collect requests of what you as an audience would like me to cover or any questions you already have. For now, I’ve assumed that most of the people interested in this talk are not necessarily academics, but are at least interested in the PDF annotation workflow or want to know what a reference manager is useful for. If you want me to add something else, have a specific use case in mind or if you want me to demonstrate something, please let me know in the comments just in case I need to prepare it in advance.

I also set up a when2meet link to find a timeslot:

Edit: To try and keep this thread on-topic, please post your requests directly in the Zotero 101 thread.

Reveal.js: Make beautiful, interactive slideshows using Markdown

• I want to hear this talk!

Type: Talk / Presentation
Expected Duration (min): 60 minutes
Presenter: @SkepticMystic

Technical Requirements: This talk will use pandoc to convert between the two formats. I am going to do a talk on that first so that this knowledge doesn’t have to be covered twice.

Description

I will show how you can use the reveal.js framework to make slideshows out of markdown. Reveal can be used to make auto-animated, interactive, custom-themed slideshow presentations. The final result is an HTML output that can simply be sent to anyone to open in their browser. You can see the power of Reveal here: https://revealjs.com
