    • Embedding images with automatic resizing, cropping, etc.
    • Summary Quotes from Wikipedia
    • ...
  • Themeable (using Twig)

Installation

composer global require bigwhoop/trumpet

Make sure that the ~/.composer/vendor/bin folder is in your PATH environment variable. This blog post should help you.

Usage

By default trumpet uses PHP's built-in webserver. Just run

trumpet

to start it. You should see something like this:

λ trumpet
2015-05-02 22:25:48 [INFO] Starting webserver on localhost:8075 ...

So fire up your browser and head over to http://localhost:8075/.

Trumpet always uses the directory from where it is started to locate presentations.

Workspaces

It's recommended to create a new folder for all your presentations.

mkdir ~/Presentations
cd ~/Presentations

Themes

You can download or create custom themes. Trumpet will look for a .theme directory in the current working directory.

Presentations

Trumpet presentations are stored in files with a .trumpet extension. Here's an example:

title: Our test presentation
subtitle: An optional sub-title
date: 2015-05-20
authors:
- Max Microwave, Some Company Lts., @themax
- name: Freddy Frypan
  email: freddy@example.org
  twitter: freddy
  company: Another Company
  website: www.example.org
  skype: freedy.frypan

slides: |
  # This is a title, it's on its own page
  
  ## This is a subtitle, it will create a new slide
  
  This is some example text.
  
  ### And this is a sub-subtitle
  
  And some more text. Yay.
  
  ## A new slide?
  
  Yep, like I told you. Titles and subtitles always create a new slide.
  
  - These are
  - bullet points.

Slides

  • Slides are written in Markdown (Extra).
  • Headings 1 will be shown on their own slide.
  • Headings 2 will force a new slide.

Commands

In your slides markup you can use Commands to make the presentation dynamic.

Code Command

Include PHP code into you slides. Maybe in the future other programming languages will be supported.

Let's say we have the following Number.php located in ~/presentations/Number.php:

<?php
namespace My\Library;

class Number
{
    private $value = 0;
    
    public function __construct($value) { $this->value = $value; }
    
    public function getValue() { return $this->value; }
    
    public function add(Number $n)
    {
        return new Number($this->value + $n->getValue());
    }
}

$n1 = new Number(5);
$n2 = $n1->add(new Number(3));
echo "5 + 3 = {$n2->getValue()}";

function add($a, $b) {
    return $a + $b;
}

File

Command:

!code Number.php

Output:

<?php
namespace My\Library;

class Number
{
    private $value = 0;
    
    public function __construct($value) { $this->value = $value; }
    
    public function getValue() { return $this->value; }
    
    public function add(Number $n)
    {
        return new Number($this->value + $n->getValue());
    }
}

$n1 = new Number(5);
$n2 = $n1->add(new Number(3));
echo "5 + 3 = {$n2->getValue()}";

function add($a, $b) {
    return $a + $b;
}

Class

Command:

!code Number.php class My\Library\Number

Output:

class Number
{
    private $value = 0;
    public function __construct($value)
    {
        $this->value = $value;
    }
    public function getValue()
    {
        return $this->value;
    }
    public function add(Number $n)
    {
        return new Number($this->value + $n->getValue());
    }
}

Method

Command:

!code Number.php method My\Library\Number add

Output:

public function add(\My\Library\Number $n)
{
    return new Number($this->value + $n->getValue());
}

Function

Command:

!code Number.php function My\Library\add

Output:

function add($a, $b)
{
    return $a + $b;
}

Line

Command:

!code Number.php line 2
!code Number.php line 18-20

Output:

namespace My\Library;
$n1 = new Number(5);
$n2 = $n1->add(new Number(3));
echo "5 + 3 = {$n2->getValue()}";

File Abstract

Command:

!code Number.php abstract

Output:

CLASSES (1)
 My\Library\Number
  __construct()
  getValue()
  add()

FUNCTIONS (1)
 My\Library\add

Exec Command

Executes a PHP file.

Command:

# See "Code Command" for the contents of the Number.php file
!exec Number.php

Output:

5 + 3 = 8

Image Command

Include images in your slides and optionally resizes them.

!image image.jpg 500x400                # Resizes image while keeping its ratio
!image image.jpg 500x0                  # Resizes image while keeping its ratio so that the width is 500px 
!image image.jpg 0x400                  # Resizes image while keeping its ratio so that the height is 400px
!image image.jpg 0x400                  # Resizes image while keeping its ratio so that the height is 400px
!image image.jpg 500x400 stretch
!image image.jpg 500x400 fit
!image image.jpg 500x400 crop

Include Command

Copy contents of files one-to-one into your slides. This allows you to move example code (CSS, JS) or single slides into separate files.

Let's assume we have a slides.md file like this:

## 2nd Slide
This file was included into my presentation.

And in our .trumpet file we'd have:

slides: |
  # Hello
  
  !include slides.md

Th result would be equivalent to this:

slides: |
  # Hello
  
  ## 2nd Slide
  This file was included into my presentation.

Line mode

There you can also include only a certain range of lines.

!include slides.md line 5           # Only the 5th line
!include slides.md line 9-12        # Lines 9 - 12

Wikipedia Summary

Shows the summary for a given topic in a blockquote.

Command:

!wiki TOPIC [NUM_SENTEMCES]

Example:

!wiki "Theme (computing)"

Output:

> In computing, a theme is a preset package containing graphical appearance details. A theme
> usually comprises a set of shapes and colors for the graphical control elements, the window
> decoration and the window. Themes are used to customize the look and feel of a piece of
> computer software or of an operating system.
