The directory _Talk_

Presentations ~ Overviews ~ Slideshows ~ Central Place

     ## Overview

The _Talk_ directory is for doing presentations within the team, to customers, to your boss, or to anybody else.

It is a central place where you can place 'easy to create' slideshows that will run in your browser, offline.

The slideshows can be created from simple text files, written in Markdown.

Boxxd has internal scripts that convert the text files to be seen in the browser.

## How you can use it

The directory contains example files of what you can do.

If you are going to create a slideshow, have a look at the [slideshow help](talk-slideshow-remark-js.html): There are a couple of things you need to consider before creating lots of them.

## Tips

* Put your important slideshows in this directory so that you have fast access to them.
     * If you or your team do not like what's in a `html` file, do the slideshow editing in a separate file and just do slideshows for running in Firefox. An example template is the `My-SlideShow-Starter__Runs-only-with-Firefox.html` file and the associated `My-SlideShow-Starter__Runs-only-with-Firefox.md` file in the `assets` directory.

## Be brave

* Be brave and have a go inserting the text within the `.html` file so that the slideshow can be seen Firefox and Chrom.
     * Even though you can create a slideshow within a couple of minutes, spend a bit of time in trying to understand the formatting tricks.

## Firefox and fonts

* To get the Boxxd contained fonts showing properly in Firefox, change the `about:conf`, `fileuri` setting. [More info](../utils/remark-js.html).
