Presentations
A presentation is one Markdown document. Every heading starts a new slide, so you write a heading for each slide and the text under it, and Jollify lays it out in your chosen theme. Everything in the basics works on a slide too.
Sections
Set slideLevel: 2 at the top of the document and each ## heading starts a
slide, while a # heading names a section. The section's name is shown
small above the heading of every slide in it.
---
slideLevel: 2

# Science
## Rivers start in the hills
Rain collects into streams, and streams join into rivers.
## Rivers end in the sea
Most rivers reach the sea through an estuary.
What you get: two slides, both with "SCIENCE" above their headings. Headings
deeper than the slide level (here ###) are small headings inside a slide.
Deck settings
The lines between two --- at the very top set up the whole deck. Every line
is optional, and Deck settings in the editor writes them for you.

title: Parents' evening
theme: dusk
aspect: 16:9
accent: "#e07a5f"
transition: fade
paginate: true

# Parents' evening
Welcome, and thank you for coming.
What you get: a deck in the Dusk theme, 16:9, with an orange accent colour,
slides that fade into one another, and a progress bar with slide numbers. The
themes are plain, dusk, report, dark and cinema.
Background pictures
A picture whose description is bg fills the whole slide behind the text.
Add left or right to fill one half instead, or give a colour instead of a
picture.
# Our new garden
# Opening hours
Monday to Saturday, 8 till 4.
# Thank you
What you get: a full-slide photo behind the first slide, a photo filling the right half of the second, and a dark green third slide. On a coloured background the theme picks light or dark text to match.
Columns
A columns block holds a column block for each column.
# Two clubs
::: columns
::: column
### Chess club
Tuesdays at lunchtime, in the library.
:::
::: column
### Coding club
Thursdays after school, in the IT room.
:::
:::
What you get: two columns side by side, each with its own small heading.
Step by step
Put a list in a fragments block and its points appear one at a time, each
time you press the arrow key or click.
# How we make bread
::: fragments
- Mix the flour, water, yeast and salt
- Knead for ten minutes
- Leave it to rise
- Bake for half an hour
:::
What you get: a slide that starts with just its heading, then shows one more step at each press.
Make one thing move
Add {in=…} to a paragraph, heading or picture, with the name of an
animation, and it arrives with that animation on the next press. Some names
are fadeIn, fadeInUp, zoomIn, bounceIn and tada.
# The winner is…
And the cup goes to… {in=fadeIn}
**The Blue Team!** {in=zoomIn}
What you get: the heading first, then the first line fading in on the first
press, then "The Blue Team!" zooming in on the second. Use {out=fadeOut} to make
something leave on its press instead.
Speaker notes
Put notes for yourself in a notes block. The audience does not see them:
they show in the presenter view.
# Fire drill
Leave by the nearest exit and meet on the field.
::: notes
Remind everyone the bell will ring at 10:15. Count heads at the gate.
:::
What you get: a slide with the instructions on it, and your reminder in the presenter view only.
Quizzes
A quiz block asks a question on the slide. Write the question, then a
checklist of answers, with [x] on the right one. A quote at the end is the
explanation, shown with the answer.
# Quick quiz
::: quiz
Which planet is the largest?
- [ ] Mars
- [x] Jupiter
- [ ] Venus
> Jupiter is more than twice the mass of all the other planets together.
:::
What you get: the question with three choices to pick from, and a Check button that says whether the answer is right and shows the explanation.
Charts
Put a table in a chart block and it is drawn as a chart. The first column
is along the bottom, and each other column is a set of bars (or a line).
# Cakes sold
::: chart bar {title="Cakes sold each day"}
| Day | Lemon | Chocolate |
|-----------|------:|----------:|
| Monday | 12 | 18 |
| Tuesday | 9 | 14 |
| Wednesday | 15 | 21 |
:::
What you get: a bar chart with a pair of bars for each day and a key naming
the two cakes. Use line, area, stacked, pie or donut in place of
bar for other kinds of chart.
Snow and confetti
A particles block fills the slide with falling snow, rain, petals,
feathers, confetti or bubbles.
# Merry Christmas!
::: particles snow
:::
What you get: snow falling over the slide while it is shown.
