Himpress is a tool designed to generate prezi style presentations using the newly-released impress.js.
Except the presentations are a bit more psychotic.
(Coincidentally, Himpress is written in Haskell)
Think of Himpress as a "markdown" for impress.js:
index.him ↬ himpress ↬ index.html
Himpress supports a number of different lightweight markup languages:
>>> markdown *This is a test of how awesome Himpress' support for* >>> textile bq. lots of different markups >>> html <span class="huge">is!</span>
Himpress can access all of impress.js' data attributes...
>>> move 10 10 10 By default, plain text is interpreted as markdown. >>> move up This is another presentation step. >>> rotate 90 >>> rotate 180 37 42 >>> zoom out >>> zoom 3.5
...as well as arbitrary attributes and css:
>>> class huge This text will be big! >>> move left >>> id fooobar >>> attribute data-awesomeness very very awesome This next slide's id is "fooobar" and it has a data-awesome attribute value of "very very awesome!"
Want to use Himpress?
Install the Haskell platform
Clone Himpress
Run cabal install to install the himpress executable
However, Himpress is very alpha! Future plans include more intuitive model for the 3d aspect of impress.js, as well as some degree of documentation.
