Using Hovercraft!

Parameters

hovercraft [-h] [-t TEMPLATE] [-c CSS] [-a] <presentation> <targetdir>

Required arguments:

<presentation>
The path to the reStructuredText presentation file.
<targetdir>
The directory where the presentation is written. Will be created if it does not exist.

Optional arguments:

-h, --help
Show this help.
-t TEMPLATE, --template
TEMPLATE Specify a template. Must be a .cfg file, or a directory with a template.cfg file. If not given it will use a default template.
-c CSS, --css CSS
An additional CSS file for the presentation to use. See also the :css: settings of the presentation.
-a, --auto-console
Pop up the console automatically. This is useful when you are rehearsing and making sure the presenter notes are correct. You can also set this by having :auto-console: true first in the presentation.
-s, --skip-help
Pop up the console automatically. This is useful when you are rehearsing and making sure the presenter notes are correct. You can also set this by having :skip-help: true first in the presentation.
--n, --skip-notes
Do not include presenter notes in the output.

Built in templates

There are two templates that come with Hovercraft! One is called default and will be used unless you specify a template. This is the template you will use most of the time.

The second is called simple and it doesn’t have a presenter console. This template is especially useful if you combine it with the --skip-notes parameter to prepare a version of your presentation to be put online.
