ASCII Presentation

Why use Sublime just to create presentations when you can also use it as the presentation tool?

Check out my presentation on browserify as an example.

Currently, this package simply gives you syntax highlighting for:

Headings

##
Heading Here
##

Sub-headings

Sub-Heading Here ###

Lists

- a list item
- another item
  * a sub item
  * another sub item
- a final item

ASCII terminal

 -----------------------------------
|ooo                                |
|-----------------------------------|
|                                   |
|$ echo "this looks pretty nice"    |
|                                   |
|                                   |
|                                   |
 -----------------------------------

For the ASCII headings in the browserify presentation, I used http://patorjk.com/software/taag/.

In the future, I hope to add some functionality to the package so that it can automatically create ASCII headings for you with just a keyboard shortcut.

Installation

1 - Clone this repo into your Sublime Text Packages directory.

2 - Add the following to your color scheme:

  <dict>
    <key>name</key>
    <string>ascii_presentation.invisible</string>
    <key>scope</key>
    <string>ascii_presentation.invisible</string>
    <key>settings</key>
    <dict>
      <key>foreground</key>
      <string>#141414</string>
    </dict>
  </dict>
  <dict>
    <key>name</key>
    <string>ascii_presentation.close</string>
    <key>scope</key>
    <string>ascii_presentation.close</string>
    <key>settings</key>
    <dict>
      <key>foreground</key>
      <string>#BE2E2E</string>
    </dict>
  </dict>
  <dict>
    <key>name</key>
    <string>ascii_presentation.minimize</string>
    <key>scope</key>
    <string>ascii_presentation.minimize</string>
    <key>settings</key>
    <dict>
      <key>foreground</key>
      <string>#BFA22E</string>
    </dict>
  </dict>
  <dict>
    <key>name</key>
    <string>ascii_presentation.expand</string>
    <key>scope</key>
    <string>ascii_presentation.expand</string>
    <key>settings</key>
    <dict>
      <key>foreground</key>
      <string>#70A340</string>
    </dict>
  </dict>
  <dict>
    <key>name</key>
    <string>ascii_presentation.chrome</string>
    <key>scope</key>
    <string>ascii_presentation.chrome</string>
    <key>settings</key>
    <dict>
      <key>foreground</key>
      <string>#777</string>
    </dict>
  </dict>

3 - Update the ascii_presentation.invisible color to match the background of your color scheme. Tweak other colors as desired.

Use

Use the syntax enumerated above to create headings, lists, etc. I found putting 20 lines between 1 "slide" and another worked well for separating them if you'll be presenting on a typical 800x600 resolution projector.

By default, the syntax highlighting works with files with the extension pres.

Modification

If you'd like to hack on the syntax definition, edit the ASCIIPresentation.JSON-tmLanguage file. Check out the syntax definition docs for more info.
