Single slide deck built from multiple RST pages?

[mi...@boundlessgeo.com]

Greetings all. My team is looking for a new way of generating slides and stumbled upon Hieroglyph. We use Sphinx for all our documentation, and wanted a solution that would provide as minimal redundancy as possible.

Up until now we've been using Landslide (https://github.com/adamzap/landslide), which has worked well enough, but we were drawn to Hieroglyph for the ability to embed slides into the actual documents themselves, reducing the likelihood of content drift.

Here's our initial question. Our doc projects are hierarchical and contain dozens of subpages. We would like to embed slide content next to the equivalent doc content, but when we make slides, we want it to be one single slide deck. What we're finding is that every slide in a page is compiled to be a single slide deck, but every doc page creates its own slide deck, making dozens of separate slide decks. Is there a way to create one single slide deck for one doc project?

Thanks!

Hi Mike,

Thanks for checking out Hieroglyph!

There isn't a way to do this at the moment, but I'm not sure how difficult it'd be. Hieroglyph sub-classes the Sphinx builders, and Sphinx includes a SingleFileHTMLBuilder (http://sphinx-doc.org/builders.html#sphinx.builders.html.SingleFileHTMLBuilder) which does about what you're looking for with "regular" HTML output. I did a quick pass at trying to pull it into Hieroglyph, and it semi-worked; looks like there's some special case where it goes from one source file to another that doesn't work with our Slide logic at the moment.

So the short answer is "no", but the slightly longer answer is "it probably could".

Cheers,

NRY

Thanks Nathan. I was not aware of the "singlehtml" builder option, and the analogy for slides is exactly what we would like.

Is this something we can ticket as a "wish"? I'm sure that others would likely be interested the ability to create a single slide deck from a full project, without having to have a single page project.

Thanks,
Mike

It'd actually be super helpful if you add it as a wish. I have some half baked code from my spike into this, and that'll help me track things.
