As I mentioned the other day, I really wanted an ultra-simple way to declare the contents of a slideshow presentation without getting sucked deep into Node.js hell.

So, I now have a #Python / #YAML / #markdown / #bash / #ImageMagick tool that does what I need and pretty much nothing more.

The code is in a @Codeberg repository: https://codeberg.org/dhobern/presentation

The YAML definition for my upcoming presentation is here: https://codeberg.org/dhobern/presentation/src/branch/main/slides.yaml

And here is the PDF generated from the YAML: https://codeberg.org/dhobern/presentation/src/branch/main/Lessons_from_Malaise_trapping_in_Aranda.pdf

#entomology #Malaise #Canberra #Australia
