Version 0.6.2 of package Dslide has just been released in NonGNU ELPA. You can now find it in M-x list-packages RET.
Dslide describes itself as: ================================================= Domain Specific sLIDEs. Programmable Presentation ================================================= More at https://elpa.nongnu.org/nongnu/dslide.html ## Summary: DSL IDE creates presentations out of org mode documents. Every single step in a presentation can be individually configured, customized, or programmed. Org headings and elements are configured with extensible actions. Custom steps can be scripted with babel blocks. Keyboard macros can play back real command sequences. Frequent customizations can be made into custom actions. DSL IDE achieves a good result with no preparation but can achieve anything Emacs can display if you need it to. ## Recent NEWS: ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ DSLIDE NEWS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 1 v0.6.2 Minor Bug Fix :latest: ══════════════════════ 💩 `org-element-parent' call was removed 2 v0.6.1 The Toddling :latest: ═════════════════════ Fixing bugs and filling some gaps in new features. 2.1 Added 🎅 ──────────── • `dslide-action-kmacro' now understands the `:keys' string to be human readable keys, similar to those understood by `kbd' • `dslide-kmacro-transcribe-type' defaults to `:keys' and can be set to `:events' if you encounter an issue (*which you should file*) with `:keys'. 2.2 Changed 🧑🔧 ──────────────── • `dslide-action-kmacro' old `:keys' has been renamed to `:events'. It is a vector of non-human-readable events. • `dslide-hide-todo' and `dslide-hide-tags' now properly default to `t', as advertised. Thanks Ihor ⛄ • 🚧 Babel blocks will only restore the point location in the slide buffer and only if it remains where it was set to evaluate the block. This allows babel blocks to better set up for kmacros in other buffers. 2.3 Fixed 💩 ──────────── • Develop window configuration was not cleaned up, resulting in improper window configuration "restoration" • 🚧 Line prefixes, such as those used by org modern to draw pretty source blocks, will be hidden by the markup hiding overlays. • 🚧 Header graphical artifacts possibly fixed, but the solution uses `:extend t' and could lead to problems elsewhere. File issues! • Actions for a heading with an empty section (no section element) no longer map over the first child's section • Keyboard macro backward steps are implemented • `dslide-deck-forward' no longer no-ops in some circumstances • kmacro action properly skips over non-matching directions when both forward and backward elements are present in a slide • 🚧 kmacro playback of `M-<return>' and `M-<backspace>' and others is now correct. There are likely more events that don't round trip nicely from `last-kbd-macro' through `key-description' and back through `read-kbd-macro'. *File issues*. • 🚧 kmacro playback no longer aborts when inputs from file-notify etc occur. It can be quit with `C-g'. A more comprehensive solution is being developed. 3 v0.6.0 Fighting Spam 💌 :latest: ═════════════════════════ • There is less markup (especially for babel) • Old actions are easier to use • New actions (*KMACROS!*) fit a more clear pattern • That pattern has a long-term plan 3.1 Why Some Changes are Breaking 🤠 ──────────────────────────────────── This release captures a lot of the low-hanging fruit of the benefits expected in 0.7.0. For the most part, what was removed was markup that nobody wanted to write. 0.7.0 will continue in this direction, using less markup and having more of it be similar. 0.7.0 will also make it possible to mix steps from different actions. That will very nearly bring us to 1.0. There is a tricky outstanding architectural issue with actions tracking their own progress. If the changes to custom actions are significant, it will only because it also makes writing new custom actions much, much simpler. 3.2 More Changes Coming 🧑🔧 ──────────────────────────── ⛔ The `dslide-default-actions' value will soon go away, becoming deprecated in 0.7.0. Instead, we will use configurable dispatcher to match elements and set default arguments globally. The dispatcher will create actions on-demand. The propertize action is the closest one to working like they will in 0.7.0. ℹ️ Your custom actions will need to be registered in the dispatcher configuration after 0.7.0. 3.3 Added ➕ ──────────── • 🧪 Experimental new kmacro action can run keyboard kmacros to script "live demonstrations". Describe `dslide-action-kmacro' to view the documentation. There is a demo in the usual [] file. All related functions and variables are under the `dslide-action-kmacro' or `dslide-kmacro' prefixes. • 🧪 Experimental keyboard macro recording with `dslide-kmacro-transcribe-set-mark', every time you call `kmacro-end-macro', dslide will transcribe a macro playback expression into your presentation. All related commands, functions, and variables are under the `dslide-kmacro-transcribe' prefix … …
