Slideshow Macro 1.2 Released

Hello everyone,

A new version of the slideshow macro is available, bringing two improvements:

  • Basic support for captions
  • New mode named pile for displaying several images scattered in a page within a common slideshow

See usage examples on the macro documentation page. As pointed out on that page, the syntax for declaring captions is still experimental and subject to evolutions. Comments are welcome.

Regards,

Stéphane

PS: a note about the syntax: it could be useful to have in mind the use case where one declares a set of slides mixing image and text in a page that are meant to be read either as a standard document or as a slideshow:

{{slideshow mode="pile"}}
= Slide 1 =
image:image1.jpg
{{/slideshow}}

{{slideshow mode="pile"}}
= Slide 2 =
image:image2.jpg
{{/slideshow}}

Another option that comes to mind would be to introduce a distinct slide macro for handling the current pile mode:

{{slide}}
(% class="row" %)(((
  (% class="col-xs-12 col-md-4" %)(((
  image="image1.jpg"
  )))
  (% class="col-xs-12 col-md-8" %)(((
  = Slide 1 =
  Lorem ipsum
  )))
)))
{{/slide}}
