Colabtools: Add support to exhibit notebook as a slideshow

Created on 16 Aug 2018  路  4Comments  路  Source: googlecolab/colabtools

Jupyter notebooks can exhibit its cells as a slideshow (see for instance: https://medium.com/@mjspeck/presenting-code-using-jupyter-notebook-slides-a8a3c3b59d67).

It would be nice if Google Collab had support for a similar feature.

For the sake of accuracy, there are mainly two options to run slides off a notebook;

The older one is based on nbconvert as mentioned in the page referenced in the first post on this issue; it involves running an external process to produce an html file

The other one is based on RISE, it is more convenient in the sense that notebook is converted to reveal on the fly, all happens in the same browser tab; one can go back and forth from notebook mode to slideshow mode, and changes can be done seemlessly in either mode.

At first sight it looks like supporting RISE would be an easier path than the other, more clumsy workflow, IMHO.

I agree 100%

Is this function in the action list?

Is there any progress on this issue?
